I'm floating in my boat Not the one I used to fish in But the boat I sit in wishin' I was still floating on my fishing boat And I'm out here on this river Really it's just a creek But it's a river when I drink So I'm drinking on my river boat I could sail to the ocean If the wind would come and get me But I aint goin nowhere quickly I'm just a drunkin sailor Waiting on a gale With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale (Vocals) An old pirate sold me on a We traded straigh across The boat I thought I wanted For the boat I hate I lost She'll sing when that wind whistles When it doesn't, well she don't Just ask that old pirate That's floatin on my river boat I could sail to the ocean If the wind would come and get me But I aint goin nowhere quickly I'm just a drunkin sailor Waiting on a gale With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale Never make a handshake deal while sharing someone bottle Never buy a boat son that doesn't have a throttle (Vocals) I could sail to the ocean If the wind would come and get me But I aint goin nowhere quickly I'm just a drunkin sailor Waiting on a gale With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale I got a sailboat for sale (Vocals)
