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?

You command me to listen, you beg me to wait
But I keep drifting away
‘Cause I know you´ll make sense if I let you explain

I am the reason for this treason but it ain´t no fault of mine
Forgiving and forgetting the line is very fine

Baby I am what I am
I´m gonna be a sailing man
Away from land
I ain´t got nobody to hold me down

Baby you can´t understand
I wanna be a sailing man
Away from land
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 better believe it, I´m leaving
My mind is a blister, Jack with a twist yeah
Nobody taught me to stop
Relieve me the pressure ‘cause I´m gonna drop

I am the reason for this treason but it ain´t no fault of mine
Forgiving and forgetting the line is very fine

Baby I am what I am
I´m gonna be a sailing man
Away from land
I ain´t got nobody to hold me down

Baby you can´t understand
I wanna be a sailing man
Away from land
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 it´s good, and 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 land
I ain´t got nobody to hold me down

Yea, I´m gonna be a sailing man
