lyrics
You're probably wakin' up to a familiar scene
Sometimes you feel a distant ache, the way your dreamin' sings
And I'm all holed up somewhere down the road
Familiar as anything but too strange to call home
Quit lookin' straight ahead and you're all tied up in knots
I never learned to be a sailor, never learned to be a boy scout
Soon there'll be one more and the wheels won't ever stop
You could say hello to me when the alarms are goin' off
With so much left to do, best pull up both your sleeves
We could laugh and break our backs tryin' to rake up all the leaves
Quit lookin' straight ahead and you're all tied up in knots
With all your fire put to bed, you're only burnin' out
I never learned to be a sailor never learned to be a boy scout
Quit lookin' straight ahead and you're all tied up in knots
All your fires put to bed, you're only burnin' out
I never learned to be a sailor never learned to be a boy scout
