Sailing

Well, there I am in Mexico, man,

I'm sittin' on a big hot rock with the blues,

Watchin' this sailboat drive by, and I'm wonderin', "Where's mine?"

Hell, I know where there's ship in a bottle,

I mean a schooner with a worm on board, yeah.

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

Cause I've been on dry land too long

Something I seen here seems to make me seasick

Something I seen here seems to make me seasick

Something I seen here seems to make me seasick

And I been on dry land too long

Roll on

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

Cause I've been on dry land too long

Leeches, land sharks, octopuses make my brain hurt

Land sharks, octopuses make my brain hurt

Yea, and I've been on dry land too long

Ship in a bottle

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

Cause I've been on dry land too long

Sail on, sail on

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

Cause I've been on dry land too long

Let's carry on

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

Cause I've been on dry land too long

I need a ship in a bottle

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

Cause I've been on dry land too long
