Lyrics Royal Republic – Sailing Man

Oh captain, my captain, time to escape
‘Cause I’m done wasting away
There’s always a someone who wants you to stay
But why? Oh, why?

I am the reason for this treason but it ain’t no fault of mine
Forgiving and forgetting the line is very fine

Baby I am what I am
I’m gonna be a sailing man away from land
I ain’t got nobody to hold me down
Baby you can’t understand
I wanna be a sailing man away from land
I ain’t got nobody to hold me now, no

Oh captain, my captain, take me away
‘Cause I’m getting wasted again
I know how you feel so get on with your grieving
You better believe it, I’m leaving
My mind is a blister, Jack with a twist yeah
Nobody taught me to stop
Relieve me the pressure ’cause I’m gonna drop

I am the reason for this treason but it ain’t no fault of mine
Forgiving and forgetting the line is very fine

Baby I am what I am
I’m gonna be a sailing man away from land
I ain’t got nobody to hold me down
Baby you can’t understand
I wanna be a sailing man away from land
I ain’t got nobody to hold me now, no

I don’t like it, I don’t like it
I’ve got a feeling that it’s good, and I don’t like it
I can’t stand it, I don’t like it
I just don’t give a damn

Baby I am what I am
I’m gonna be a sailing man away from land
I ain’t got nobody to hold me down
Baby you can’t understand
I wanna be a sailing man away from land
I ain’t got nobody to hold me now, no

I’m gonna be a sailing man!
