Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sail on down the line 'bout a half a mile or so
And I don't really wanna know where you're goin'
Maybe once or twice, you see, time after time I tried
Tried to hold on to what we got, but now you're goin'
[Verse 2]
And I don't mind about the things you're gonna say, Lord
I gave all my money and my time, I know
I know it's a shame but I'm giving you back Your name
Guess I'll be on my way, I won't be back to say
I guess I'll move along, I'm lookin' for a good time
[Verse 3]
Sail on down the line, ain't it funny how the time can go
All my friends say they told me so but it doesn't matter
It was plain to see that a small town girl like me
Just wasn't your cup of tea, I was wishful thinkin'
[Verse 4]
I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy
And you gave my nothing in return
You know it ain't so hard to say, would you please just go away?
I've thrown away the blues, I'm tired of being used
I want everyone to know I'm lookin' for a good time
Good time
[Verse 5]
Sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good
[Verse 6]
Sail on, sugar
Good times never felt so good
Sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on, honey
