Lyrics

Good job for a drinker
Working out on the Gulf
No matter how drunk you came
You’d soon enough sober up

Push off from the land
With big strong calloused hands
Seagulls flying high
And regrets by and by

That water’s where you gotta be
It feels like living wild and free
The tide comes in like memory
It goes past what the eye can see
Like the gulf between you and me

The money’d all be gone
When you showed up at the dock
Barely had the gas
To get back on the clock

Staring out to sea
With eyes of hazel green
Your face turned to the sun
But your thoughts on what you done

That water’s where you gotta be
It feels like living wild and free
The tide comes in like memory
It goes past what the eye can see
Like the gulf between you and me

Who’d you leave back home
You sun-tanned sailor man
Are you trying to forget
As much as you can?

Who’s in your mind
When you’re looking at the waves
How many bottles
Will it take to be brave?

That water’s where you gotta be
It feels like living wild and free
The tide comes in like memory
It goes past what the eye can see
Like the gulf between you and me

Ooooh

That water’s where you gotta be
It feels like living wild and free
The tide comes in like memory
It goes past what the eye can see
Like the gulf between you and me
