Lyrics

Sail on, down the line
About a half a mile or so
And I, I don't really wanna know
Where you're going
Maybe once or twice you see
Time after time I tried not to
To hold on to what we got
But, now you're going
And I don't mind
About the things you're gonna say Lord
I gave all my money and my time
I know it's a shame
But I'm giving you back your name, yeah, yeah
Guess I'll be on my way
I won't be back to stay
I guess I'll move along
I'm looking for a good time, ah, ah, ah
Sail on down the line
Ain't it funny how the time can go
And my friends say they told me so
But it doesn't matter
It was plain to see
That a, a small town boy like me
Just, wasn't your cup of tea
I was wishful thinking
Oh, yeah
I gave you my heart
And I tried to make you happy
And you gave me nothing in return
You know it ain't so hard to say
But would you please just go away?
Yeah, yeah
I've thrown away the blues
I'm tired of being used
I wanted everyone to know
I'm looking for a good time
A good time
Oh, sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good now tell me
Sail on, sugar
Good times never felt so good
(Wooh)
(C'mon)
(C'mon)
Woah, sail on, honey, yeah
Sail on, sugar, yeah, yeah
(Sail on)
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on
(Sail on)
Ow, sail on
(Woohoo)
(Sail on)
Well sail on, sail on, sail on, hey hey hey hey
(Oh, sail on)
(Sail on)
C'mon sugar, yeah
(Woohoo)
(Sail on)
Sail on, ow
(Woohoo)
Honey, sail on
(Sail on)
(Woohoo)
Ow, honey
