Lyrics
SAILOR ADRIFT
VERSE 1
A sailor adrift without a course, Without a wife from a bad divorce
And just to make matters worse, The bottle was the family curse
Don't know if he'll get home tonight, Drunk and dirty, got into a fight
Don't know who turned out his lights, Once again he can't make it right
CHORUS
Blood on the floor of the barroom tonight
Mixed with the sawdust and beer
Another shot from his whiskey glass
Clouds his mind, takes away his fear
Sad thing about his whiskey breath
The tragic whiff of an early death
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
VERSE 2
At best he stood five-foot ten, Crossed a six-six bouncer named Ben
Wasn't pretty what happened then, Over when it was about to begin
Three shots down he was a happy drunk, Another two he was talkin' junk
After that he really stunk, Then he hit the floor with an awful thunk
CHORUS
VERSE 3 (SOLOS
CHORUS
VERSE 4
A sailor adrift without a course, Without a wife from a bad divorce
And just to make matters worse, The bottle was the family curse
Don't know if he'll get home tonight, Drunk and dirty, got into a fight
Don't know who turned out his lights, Once again he can't make it right
CHORUS
OUTRO
Sad thing about his whiskey breath
The tragic whiff of an early death
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
