well to be truthful...after my brother in law purchased this boat and I saw the freedom and serenity of the open water, I wrote this song on the prospective that my wife and I would just take it out and sail around..maybe forever...

Lyrics
POINTS UNKNOWN / JIM ANDERSON
D C7
THEY SAILED OFF, IN THE MISTY WATERS NAME__________________________
G7 D
LEAVING THEIR PAST BEHIND
D C7
LIFE FOR THEM, HAD BECOME, SIMPLE
G7 D7
LIFE BEFORE--- HAD TURNED UNKIND
C G D
THEY SAILED OFF, TO POINTS UNKNOWN
D C7
THEY WERE TIRED OF, THEIR COMPLEX LIVING (DOUBLE DROP D)
G7 D (CAPO 1ST)
TOO MANY WAYS TO BE PULLED
D C7
LIFE FOR THEM, HAD NO MORE MEANING
G7 D
COULD A LIFE GET TOO FULL
C G D (OPT MOVE)
(SO) THEY SAILED OFF, TO POINTS UNKNOWN
D C7
THEY SAILED EAST AND TOOK IN THE SUNRISE
G7 D
A SIGHT THEY, NEVER GAVE MUCH THOUGHT
D C7
LOOKED OUT AT, THE CLEAR BLUE WATER
G7 D
IS THIS THE LIFE THEY ALWAYS SOUGHT
C G D (OPT MOVE)
(SO) THEY SAILED OFF, TO POINTS UNKNOWN
REPEAT FIRST VERSE...
C G D
(SO) THEY SAILED OFF, TO POINTS UNKNOWN X 2
