Sailor Song Songtext
von Juice Newton & Silver Spur

Guess I′ll always be a sailor
Never touching solid ground
Never know success from failure
Guess I'll always ramble ′round

Wise men say there's no beginning
Only fools can see no end
When the storm has never harmed you
You know a man must learn to be


There are far too many rivers
Some will never reach the sea
There are far too many oceans
In between us, you and me

Guess I'll always be a sailor
Never know what would′ve come
Never know success from failure
Never had a port at all

I don′t need a word for freedom
I don't need a word for love
I just need a word for lonesome
It′s one thing I've had enough of


Guess I′ll always be a sailor
Never touch that solid ground
Never know success from failure
'Til the last time I go down
