He walked in with a salty sway
Lookin' like Blackbeard in his day
A brother in arms just like me
I was born a son of the sea.
I can't be still, I can't be tied
The only time I feel alive is
When the wind fills my sail
Riding on a lifelong swell
Let my heart take me where it want to go
That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor.
He slid a stool and a beer to me
Said, ''You know we're both a dying breed
Here's to love lost and new found friends
And living out life in the boat we're in.''
I can't be still, I can't be tied
The only time I feel alive is
When the wind fills my sail
Riding on a lifelong swell
Let my heart take me where it want to go
That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor.
Let my heart take me where it want to go
That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor...
