lyrics

there's ships headed places all the time
and i'll build one for these friends of mine
and we will sail the sea, and you won't see me
until the end of time
but if i don't change, then i'll probably stay the same
and if you ain't on board then you ain't a friend of mine

and i'll keep a good woman by my side
i'm talking one who can really treat me right
and her heart won't pound loud
but it will keep good time
and i will dance to that beat my whole life
she'll leave me one day
"i lost the best girl," i'll say
but if you ain't on board then you ain't a friend of mine

and we'll dock up on some foreign land
make new friends and shake their foreign hands
and we'll stay up all night till the horizon gets light,
leave the next day and never see them again
but the stories they told
we'll carry with us till we're old
but if you're not on board then you ain't a friend of mine

and we'll steal what we need to get us by
not from the good folks, the ones who don't live it right
and it'll teach them about what you have to go without
before you really know what you want from this life
i myself ain't a saint but i've been good enough to say,
"if you ain't on board then you ain't a friend of mine."
