Oh captain, my captain, time to escape

‘Cause I’m done wasting away

There’s always a someone who wants you to stay

But why? Oh, why?

To command me to listen, begged me to wait

But I keep drifting away

‘Cause I know you’d make if I’d let you explain

I am the reason for this treason but it ain’t no fault of mine

Forgiving you forgetting the ride is very fine

Baby I am what I am

I’m gonna be a sailing man

Away from women

I ain’t got nobody to hold me down

Baby you can’t understand

I wanna be a sailing man

Away from women

I ain’t got nobody to hold me down

Oh captain, my captain, take me away

‘Cause I’m getting wasted again

I know how you feel so get on with your grieving

You bat up and leave it, I’m leaving

My mind is a blister, Jack with a twist yea

Nobody taught me to stop

Relieve me the pressure ‘cause I’m gonna endure

I am the reason for this treason but it ain’t no fault of mine

Forgiving you forgetting the ride is very fine

Baby I am what I am

I’m gonna be a sailing man

Away from women

I ain’t got nobody to hold me down

Baby you can’t understand

I wanna be a sailing man

Away from women

I ain’t got nobody to hold me down

I don’t like it, I don’t like it

I’ve got a feeling that is screaming, I don’t like it

I can’t stand it, I don’t like it

I just don’t give a damn

Baby I am what I am

I’m gonna be a sailing man

Away from women

I ain’t got nobody to hold me down

Baby you can’t understand

I wanna be a sailing man

Away from women

I ain’t got nobody to hold me down

Yea, I’m gonna be a sailing man
