I'm a Sailor Not a Salesman

Verse 1
Sleeping in a van, out of gas
Playing in a band, on Mississipi Avenue
Pickin' a guitar, strapped for cash
Mappin' out the stars, on every single latitude

Pre-Chorus
And it was all about
Lipstick, pickups and drumstick
Flips on the white stripe kit
Cause the kids can't quit, no
You know I just can't quit, no

Chorus
Oh, I'm a sailor, keep on sailing
Out of my mind, out on the tide
I've got nowhere to be
I'm a sailor, not a salesman
Out on the line, nothing to hide
Cause I'm no good at pretending

Verse 2
Hanging on a watermelon sunset
Swing through open doors in my dreams
Eight years old and no one ever told me
What I couldn't be
Shoot hoops, dance moves, I could believe anything

Pre-Chorus
And it was all about
Lipstick, pickups and drumstick
Flips on the white stripe kit
Cause the kids can't quit, no
You know I just can't quit, no

Chorus
Oh, I'm a sailor, keep on sailing
Out of my mind, out on the tide
I've got nowhere to be
I'm a sailor, not a salesman
Out on the line, nothing to hide
Cause I'm no good at pretending

Bridge
I hear you speak, it's synthetic, like a dead end
It's just nothing
It's just nothing, it's synthetic
It's just nothing, ooh

Chorus
Oh, I'm a sailor, keep on sailing
Out of my mind, out on the tide
I've got nowhere to be
I'm a sailor, not a salesman
Out on the line, nothing to hide
Cause I'm no good at pretending

Outro
I guess Jackson was right
Imma sail out of sight
