I don't call this town my baby
cause I believe it won't save me
you've just been sleepin' in the dirt
not giving any worth
i'm not slicing through the ice
I'm just putting out those fires
There's no soul, there's no drive
so how can you say you thrive, just to taste the wine.
well I've put in my time. I've held in my words.
and i've carried my so called curse
just to keep this boat afloat, just to keep this boat afloat
so sail on
sail on
let the bad blood cool down a bit, enough to go around make everyone sick
just like a fever, combing through the desert
the good hearts, they come so rare, so I'll search till I find a tare
till it's stripped to the bare, cause I can't coincide with people here
so sail on
Just keep digging on through the dirt
just keep puttin' in your work
we'll always be on some kind of search
that's just the gloom of the desert
so we can just sail on, get along,
we can just sail on, get along.
