lyrics

Did you ever want to be boy
Out on the sea boy
All of your possessions
Below the deck
So when they question
What’s your direction
You can say south boy
And know it’s fact

Did you ever have a daydream
That made you cry
For a lovely lady
To call your own
Then you ask that lady
Does anyone really know me
Well I know those worries
Like my own strife
‘Cause I’ve slept alone boy
Most of my life

Do you want to know me girl
I can see in your eyes
A look of pity for the way I live
Well I may not be striving
But I’m surviving
And I love the nighttime
And I can dig that sunshine
Each morn’ before I lay down
And go to bed

But all you know I lie
And exaggerate my life
But in the tales I tell
Are some truths themselves
Well don’t you know
Thought everybody knows
Well don’t you know

She said farewell boy
You sleep too much dear
And it’s too cold up here
You promised me Nashville
So I lost my lady
To the state of Tennessee
But I want her back boy
Yeah I need her here
Well I want her back boy
Yeah I need her here
