He walked in with a salty sway   Lookin' like black beard in his day   A brother in arms just like me   I was born a son of the sea      I can't be still, I can't be tied   The only time I, I feel alive      Is when the wind fills my sail   Riding on a lifelong swell   Let my heart take me where it wants to go   That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor      He slid a stool and a beer to me   Said, "You know, we're both a dying breed"   Here's to love lost and newfound friends   Living out life in the boat we're in      I can't be still, I can't be tied   The only time I, I feel alive      Is when the wind fills my sail   Riding on a lifelong swell   Let my heart take me where it wants to go   That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor      Let my heart take me where it wants to go   That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor
