Lyrics
WHEN I SAIL AWAY
MUSIC/LYRICS Spencer Kelly Copyright 2013 - APRA Registered
Been fixin' this old sloop for ages - now I'll write some new life pages
So I know I gotta go - no more de-lays
Sail on down Jamaica way - drop anchor in Montego Bay
I'll be headin out with the sunrise - gonna break - away
When I sail away from here - I'll be livin on shrimp and beer -
I've had my fill of rules - to follow
Time don't matter on the ocean waves - no more alarms no mornin' shaves
No regrets or sorrows - when I sail away from here tomorrow
My world so far's been all routine - time to do what's right for me
I'll be cruising on a sailor's - perfect - dream
Nine to five for too damn long - a married man who got it wrong
But I'll be sailin' soon with a galley full of beer out where - I belong
When I sail away from here - I'll be livin on shrimp and beer -
I've had my fill of rules - to follow
Time don't matter on the ocean waves - no more alarms no mornin' shaves
No regrets or sorrows - when I sail away from here tomorrow
And those island babes in their cute bikinis they'll still make me turn my head
Hey I know I'm getting older every year but - I aint dead yet
When I sail away from here - I'll be livin on shrimp and beer -
I've had my fill of rules - to follow
Time don't matter on the ocean waves - no more alarms no mornin' shaves
No regrets or sorrows - when I sail away from here tomorrow
When I sail away from here tomorrow
