Sailing Man Songtext
von 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, oh-oh!


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 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, oh-oh!

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!


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 land
I ain't got nobody to hold me down, yeah!

I′m gonna be a sailing man
