Nautical Sabbatical - River City Extension

Feels like I’m growing at a distance

Or am I growing distant

I’m not exactly sure which one I mean

All this singing’s got me wishing

That I wasn’t listening to the favor enveloping me

I think I’ve got my footing set

I lie a lot I know but yet it’s getting me places these days

All this singing’s got me wishin'

That I wasn’t listening to anything my pen had to say

How nautical, sabbatical, men praying by the sea!

I said I’d love to join the crew boys

But the chapel never did a thing for me

They whisper in my ear

«Pack up your instruments and meet us by the shore»

And use it like we tell you to!

Or we’ll throw that 6-string blasphemy off-board!

Oh god oh dear

Oh how I wish my musings could be clear

Hold still my dear

There’s everything to loose and much to fear

There’s everything to loose and much to-

Feels like I’m following a pattern

But you’ve gone and changed my threads

It’s the same story in different words

But a dollar says you’ll doubt it

Cause you don’t know shit about it

But don’t worry Amanda you’ll learn

I think I’ve got my footing set

I lie a lot I know but yet it’s getting me places these days

All this praying’s got me thinking

If I ever put down drinking

I won’t ever have important things to say

Oh god oh dear

Oh how I wish my funeral was here

And now it’s clear

So grab a girl or grab another beer

Oh god oh dear!

Oh how we wish our funeral was here!

And now it’s clear!

So grab a girl or grab another beer!

There’s everything to loose and much to fear
