Sea Stories
Sturgill Simpson

Basically it's just like papaw says:

Keep your mouth shut and you'll be fine

Just another enlisted egg

In the bowl for Uncle Sam's beater

When you get to Dam Neck

Hear a voice in your head

Saying, my life's no longer mine

Have you running with some SAD SOG

BMF sandeaters

Sailing out on them high seas

Feels just like being born

That first port call in Thailand

Feels like a pollywog turning nineteen

They've got king cobras fighting in boxing rings

And all the angels play Connect Four

Seems like a sailor's paradise

But turns out to be a bad dream

Now you hit the ground running in Tokyo

From Kawasaki to Ebisu

Yokosuka, Yokohama, and Shinjuku

Shibuya, Ropongi, and Harajuku

Aw, from Pusan and Pohang, Pattaya to Phuket

From Singapore to Kuala Lumpur

Seen damn near the whole damn world

From the inside of a bar

I've got sea stories

They're all true

Might seem a little bit far-fetched

But why would I lie to you

Memories make forever stains

Still got salt running through my veins

I've got sea stories

And my shellback, too

Sometimes Sirens send a ship off course

Horizon gets so hazy

Maybe get high, play a little GoldenEye

On that old 64

And if you get sick and can't manage the kick

And get yourself kicked out the navy

You'll spend the next year trying to score

From a futon life raft on the floor

And the next fifteen trying to figure out

What the hell you did that for

But flying high beats dying for lies

In a politician's war
