Sea Stories Lyrics - A Sailor's Guide To Earth - Sturgill Simpson

Basically it's just like papaw says: 

"Keep your mouth shut and you'll be fine" 

Just another enlisted egg 

In the bowl for Uncle Sam's beater 

When you get to Dam Neck 

Hear a voice in your head 

Saying, "my life's no longer mine" 

Have you running with some SAG SOG 

Being [?] 

Sailing out on them high seas 

Feels just like being born 

That first port call in Thailand 

Feels like a pollywog turning nineteen 

They've got king cobras fighting in boxing rings 

And all the angels play Connect Four 

Seems like a sailor's paradise 

But turns out to be a bad dream

Now you hit the ground running in Tokyo 

From Kawasaki to Ebisu 

Yokosuka, Yokohama, and Shinjuku 

Shibuya, Ropongi, and Harajuku 

Aw, from Pusan and Ko Chang, Pattaya to Phuket 

From Singapore to Kuala Lumpur 

Seen damn near the whole damn world 

From the inside of a bar 

I've got sea stories 

They're all true 

Might seem a little bit far-fetched 

But why would I lie to you 

Memories make forever stains 

Still got salt running through my veins 

I've got sea stories 

And my shellback, too 

Photos 

Sometimes Sirens send a ship off course 

Horizon gets so hazy 

Maybe get high, play a little GoldenEye 

On that old 64 

And if you get sick and can't manage the kick 

And get yourself kicked out the navy 

You'll spend the next year trying to score 

From a futon life raft on the floor 

And the next fifteen trying to figure out 

What the hell you did that for 

But flying high beats dying for lies 

In a politician's war
