"Sailing" lyrics - JERRY JEFF WALKER

[Spoken:]
Well, there I am in Mexico, man,
I'm sittin' on a big hot rock with the blues,
Watchin' this sailboat drive by, and I'm wonderin', "Where's mine?"
Hell, I know where there's ship in a bottle,
I mean a schooner with a worm on board, yeah.

[Chorus:]
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
'Cause I've been on dry land too long

Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
And I been on dry land too long

Roll on

[Chorus]

Leeches, land sharks, octopuses make my brain hurt
Land sharks, octopuses make my brain hurt
Yea, and I've been on dry land too long

Ship in a bottle
[Chorus]

Sail on, sail on

[Chorus]

Let's carry on

[Chorus]

I need a ship in a bottle

[Chorus]
