[Verse 1]
I sat there, but can't get signal, and this light's forever long
Lost in the rain in this no-man's land over by the Pentagon
Wonderin' if I'm even worth the paper I'm printed on
It's a judgment call

[Verse 2]
DC Beltway in this 5:30 gloom
Openin' for Isbell in some cavernous room
I hate it when the clocks roll back, it's darker than a tomb
And they're out smokin' by the load-in, one and all

[Verse 3]
I won't forget your birthday, 'cause you don't forget the score
I won't forget that chorus like I did the night before, when I was
Tryin' to remembеr, did I lock the front door? And have I
Any business bеin' in this business anymore? And I'm

[Chorus]
Sailin' away
Feelin' faded, and I'm not okay
Sailin' alone
Steerin' by the stars, and I can't get home now

The light tech's friendly, and she sees me right through
She's an iron-skinned veteran of professional crew
So I don't stand half a chance, no matter what I do
But she'll light me up good for those early few
[Verse 5]
One time you told me not to push you too hard
You could drift away slowly till you drift too far
And I paid attention, and I took it to heart
But it's been so long now, I just don't know who we are, and I'm

[Chorus]
Sailin' away
Feelin' faded, and I'm not okay
Sailin' alone
Steerin' by the stars, and I can't get home now

[Verse 5]
Dreamed I came home from a month or so out
Junk mail on the kitchen table scattered all about
I couldn't find you anywhere, I searched all through the house
I kept hopin' as I opened every door

[Chorus]
Sailin' away
Feelin' faded, and I'm not okay
Sailin' alone
Steerin' by the stars, and I can't get home
Steerin' by the stars, and I can't get home now
