The Seafarin' Life

[Verse] On the deck of the Ol' Sloop Sally, With the wind pushin' me free, I roam from Port Arthur to Bali, With the ocean callin' to me. [Verse 2] The tavern lights glow in the distance, With me ship anchored down by the dock, Me heart counts the miles in persistence, Tickin' away like a clock. [Chorus] Yo-ho, life's a country song on the sea, Where me boots tap on wooden planks, Ridin' the waves, wild and free, With a mug and a heart full of thanks. [Verse 3] There's gold in them faraway islands, And treasures I’ve yet to behold, Though I dream of green Tennessee highlands, On this ship, I’ll never grow old. [Verse 4] The stars guide me north toward adventure, In the night with the moon shining bright, Me compass a trusted old mentor, With the horizon just barely in sight. [Chorus] Yo-ho, life's a country song on the sea, Where me boots tap on wooden planks, Ridin' the waves, wild and free, With a mug and a heart full of thanks.
