Sailing Man Lyrics

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?
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e102084-royal_republic~sailing_man_lyrics.html ]
To command me to listen, begged me to wait
But I keep drifting away
‘Cause I know you'd make if I'd let you explain

I am the reason for this treason but it ain't no fault of mine
Forgiving you forgetting the ride is very fine

Baby I am what I am
I'm gonna be a sailing man
Away from women
I ain't got nobody to hold me down

Baby you can't understand
I wanna be a sailing man
Away from women
I ain't got nobody to hold me down

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 bat up and leave it, I'm leaving
My mind is a blister, Jack with a twist yea
Nobody taught me to stop
Relieve me the pressure ‘cause I'm gonna endure

I am the reason for this treason but it ain't no fault of mine
Forgiving you forgetting the ride is very fine

Baby I am what I am
I'm gonna be a sailing man
Away from women
I ain't got nobody to hold me down

Baby you can't understand
I wanna be a sailing man
Away from women
I ain't got nobody to hold me down

I don't like it, I don't like it
I've got a feeling that is screaming, I don't like it
I can't stand it, I don't like it
I just don't give a damn

Baby I am what I am
I'm gonna be a sailing man
Away from women
I ain't got nobody to hold me down

Baby you can't understand
I wanna be a sailing man
Away from women
I ain't got nobody to hold me down

Yea, I'm gonna be a sailing man
