Story Behind The Song

the dock was written while on the road. after spending eight years in a relationship that just wa sinit going to work, it was time for me to leave my home town and go see the country. idea of beaing out to sea seamed like a perfect metaphor for whereri was at in life.It repreasents a life with no voices telling you what to do or where to go.Its just you, your skills,and the eliments

Lyrics

Not tide to the dock any more, ain't no woman keeping me on the shore, All those years the ropes held me back, now I'm on my boat set in the tack, for you see I was maid to sail A mans got to breathe the good salt air, do as he pleases without a care. Every mans got a boy inside,I said id grow up, I guess I lied chorus not tide to the dock any more, ain't no woman keeping me on the shore, Clipping along on the seven seas ,not a care in the world just a tropical breeze, 'cause I'm free, so damn free I've dreampt of the ocean since I was a child, cant settling down my hearts to wild, when I want to I just adjust the sail not directed by a piece of tail I don't care if those storms of fury i`m rougher than those waves don't you worry I was in port just the other day, met an old sailor with a beard of gray, I told him my story and he grind a grin puffed his pipe and he said friend chorus Your`e not tied to the dock anymore, there ain't no woman keeping you, on the shore So get to clipping on the seven seas, without a care in the world just like me, cause I'm free, so damn free Its a full moon night out on the pacific, the day and the hour not to specific, looking out from the top of the mask the spell of the sea is surely cast Well that old anchor lost a hold of me, not going home now, 'cause I'm free, so damn free
