Jerry Jeff Walker
Spoken:
Well, there I am in Mexico, man,
I'm sittin' on a big hot rock with the blues,
Watchin' this sailboat drive by, and I'm wonderin', "Where's mine?"
Hell, I know where there's ship in a bottle,
I mean a schooner with a worm on board, yeah.
Chorus:
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
Cause I've been on dry land too long
Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
And I been on dry land too long
Roll on
Chorus
Leeches, land sharks, octopuses make my brain hurt
Land sharks, octopuses make my brain hurt
Yea, and I've been on dry land too long
Ship in a bottle
Chorus
Sail on, sail on
Chorus
Let's carry on
Chorus
I need a ship in a bottle
Chorus
