Roadbound Sailor

Album Cover

Verse

Well I've been working hard, day by day

Sweating through the hours in the fruits of labour

Dreamin' hard of the roaming way

A roaming should like a road-bound sailor

Well I could leave this life for the rolling waves

Looking for lands I've yet to stand in far off places

Broken records, so frustrating

Give me a ship that never quits for the road-bound sailor

Chorus

'Cause I'm a road-bound, roaming sailor

Pass through the towns on a course unwavered

Road-bound, roaming sailor

Lost through the lands that will always take me home

Verse

Well the wheels will take me far and wide

Sailing on a rocky road, a tarmac tide

The diesel steers me through the lines

All along the A-roads 'til we hit the old M5

Chorus

'Cause I'm a road-bound, roaming sailor

Pass through the towns on a course unwavered

Road-bound, roaming sailor

Lost through the lands that will always take me home

Verse

It's been a long long drive now it's festival time

Big bags, bit of a dance with cider inside

Never want to leave it all, a festival life

It's the road-bound sailor's life until I die

Chorus

'Cause I'm a road-bound, roaming sailor

Pass through the towns on a course unwavered

Road-bound, roaming sailor

Lost through the lands that will always take me home
