Slow Boat |
| If I could go back home to the place I was raised |
| I’d catch the next bus and be there in a few days |
| But I just can’t do it, I was raised on the road |
| I’ve got no place to go to, so l guess l’ll stay on |
| There’s dreams that I’ve had, I wrote in songs yesterday |
| But the waves of the world have washed them away |
| Still I carry them with me wherever I go |
| They’re my only possesions on this slow boat back home |
| I’ve kept all my memories buried deep in my heart |
| Where time cannot touch them and rip them apart |
| Still I look for the hour when I will be free |
| From constantly dying and living on dreams |
| If I could go back home to the place I was raised |
| I’d catch the next bus and be there in a few days |
| My dreams in my pockets, my life, that’s gone wrong |
| They’re my only possessions on this slow boat back home |
