soul of a sailor

he walked in with a salty sway

lookin' like blackbeard in his day

a brother in arms just like me

i was born a son of the sea

i can't be still

i can't be tied

the only time i feel alive is

when the wind fills my sail

riding on a lifelong swell

let my heart take me where it wants to go

that's the soul of a sailor

the soul of a sailor

he slid a stool and a beer to me

said

you know

we're both a dying breed

here's to love lost and newfound friends

and living out life in the boat we're in

i can't be still

i can't be tied

the only time i feel alive is

when the wind fills my sail

riding on a lifelong swell

let my heart take me where it wants to go

that's the soul of a sailor

the soul of a sailor

let my heart take me where it wants to go

that's the soul of a sailor

the soul of a sailor
