From the recording Ocean Song
Lyrics
Ocean Song
Out on the waves, there’s peace not found on any land
And the stress of life’s struggles, melts away, like castles in the sand
The only thing to pick up, is a drink in each hand
And raise a glass, ‘cause life goes fast, an’ get it while you can
Jenny and me, we've seen enough, to know what life’s about
Keepin’ up with the Joneses, an’ hard livin’, never really works out
An’ we paid our dues to Uncle Sam, even when he tried to run us out
But where the sun kisses the ocean, you get the notion, there ain’t any doubt
Ol’ Jimmy had it right, he knew it all along
‘Cause when a pirate looks at 40, his days ain’t very long
You can look out in the night, and try to find the dawn,
Or move on with your life, an’ know you’re right, where you belong
Sandy beaches in your reach, and skies as far as you can see
And the hand of one you love, to hold on to, when you just want to be
Cares of the world can wait where you left them on the shore
Until the day you sail away, and never come back anymore
Ol’ Jimmy had it right, he knew it all along
‘Cause when a pirate looks at 40, his days ain’t very long
You can call out in the night, an’ cry "what went wrong?"
Or move on with your life, an’ know you’re right, where you belong
Ol’ Jimmy had it right, he knew it all along
‘Cause when a pirate looks at 40, his days ain’t very long
You can look out in the night, and try to find the dawn,
Or move on with your life, an’ know you’re right, where you belong
