Sailing Man - Royal Republic

Oh captain, my captain, time to escape

‘Cause I’m done wasting away

There’s always a someone who wants you to stay

But why?

Oh, why?

You command me to listen, you beg me to wait

But I keep drifting away

‘Cause I know you’ll make sense if I let you explain

I am the reason for this treason but it ain’t no fault of mine

Forgiving and forgetting the line is very fine

Baby I am what I am

I’m gonna be a sailing man away from land

I ain’t got nobody to hold me down

Baby you can’t understand

I wanna be a sailing man away from land

I ain’t got nobody to hold me now, no

Oh captain, my captain, take me away

‘Cause I’m getting wasted again

I know how you feel so get on with your grieving

You better believe it, I’m leaving

My mind is a blister, Jack with a twist yeah

Nobody taught me to stop

Relieve me the pressure ‘cause I’m gonna drop

I don’t like it, I don’t like it

I’ve got a feeling that it’s good, and I don’t like it

I can’t stand it, I don’t like it

I just don’t give a damn

I’m gonna be a sailing man!
