Sail on down the line
'Bout a half a mile or so
And don't really wanna know
Where you're going

Maybe once or twice you see
Time after time I tried to
To hold on to what we got
But now you're going

And I don't mind about the
Things you're gonna say, Lord
I gave all my money and my time
I know it's a shame
But I'm giving you back your name

Yes, I'll be on my way
I won't be back to stay
I guess I'll move along
I'm looking for a good time

Sail on down the line
Funny how the time can go
Friends say they told me so
It doesn't matter
It was plain to see that
A small town boy like me
Wasn't your cup of tea
Wishful thinking

I gave you my heart and
I tried to make you happy
And you gave me nothing in return
You know, it ain't so hard to say
Would you please just go away

I've thrown away the blues
I'm tired of being used
Everyone should know
I'm looking for a good time
Good time

Sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on, honey
'Cause good times never felt so good

Sail on down the line
Half a mile or so
Don't really wanna know
Where you're going
Maybe once or twice you see
Time after time I tried to
To hold on to what we got
But now you're going
