He walked in with a salty sway Lookin' like Blackbeard in his day A brother in arms just like me I was born a son of the sea I can't be still, I can't be tied The only time I feel alive is When the wind fills my sail Riding on a lifelong swell Let my heart take me where it wants to go That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor He slid a stool and a beer to me Said, you know, we're both a dying breed Here's to love lost and newfound friends And living out life in the boat we're in I can't be still, I can't be tied The only time I feel alive is When the wind fills my sail Riding on a lifelong swell Let my heart take me where it wants to go That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor Let my heart take me where it wants to go That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor
