Текст песни Sailin' - Jake Shimabukuro

He was captain of a small ship and he called her the queen
Jackson was an old man, the skipper of the sea
And he dreams about one day an island he'll find
Out lost in the ocean, just passing in time

And he'd rather be
Sailin', sailin' away, and he'd rather be
Sailin', sailin' away, and he'd rather be
Sailin'

And he's been to places
And he knows them quite well
But those are just traces of stories to tell
And he loves his lady and his whiskey is sweet
But sailin's his first love, it keeps his soul free

And he'd rather be
Sailin', sailin' away, and he'd rather be
Sailin', sailin' away, and he'd rather be
Sailin'
And he goes where the wind blows and he flows with the tide
He's just going nowhere, just going for the ride
With a cigarette for company and a shot for good times
And a sunset to follow, into the night

And he'd rather be
Sailin', sailin' away, and he'd rather be
Sailin', sailin' away, and he'd rather be
Sailin' away
