Lyrics
SAILOR'S LIFE
W:Larry M Clark BMI P:Ellemsee Music BMI larrymyrtus@yahoo.com
VERSE
A young sailor on his first cruise, watching the homeport lights fade
Thinking about this lifetime choice, that he had finally made
Just Imagining all the foreign places that he was gonna get to see
And all of the pretty foreign girls that he would surely meet
CHORUS
Hey! Sailor, keep on dreaming, but don't think about home
Don't you know, wind and surf are calling you to roam
Now Your home is a ship and you'll be ready to sail again
And The sea'll become your love, your whole life long
VERSE
The young sailor, now an old Chief, watching the homeport lights fade
Thinking about his lifetime choice, that he had originally made
Just thinking all the foreign places that he'd been able to see
Rememb'ring the pretty foreign girls that were surely cute and sweet
REPEAT CHORUS
