lyrics

You ever been out on the water,
When the tide is at its highest,
And the sun is getting father?
I’ll tell you friend I’ve been there,
You don’t know which way you’re going.
So peaceful why should you care,
But you’re angry for not knowing.

But there’s ocean on my feet. There’s a girl at home who’s waiting
And like honey she’s so sweet. But I think I’ll drift out here until
The late hours of the night.
You know getting lost in life, every now and then’s alright.

My daddy and I woke up early,
Put our boat into the harbor and
For hours we were roaming.
I would laugh while he told stories
Bout the folklore of the sea,
We knew that we were lost,
And I smiled as he told me,

Smell the ocean in the breeze. Your mother’s at home waiting
Like the Lord she’s good to me. Let’s you and I stay out here till
The sun is out of sight.
Son getting lost in life, every now and then’s alright.

The beach was cold and muddy,
And when we reached the shore
We reached the ending of the journey.
We walked into a small town,
Quarter mile from the coast.
It’s the trips with no direction,
That I will treasure most.

The fog was thick but nature didn’t win.
There’s a little day left and the tide is right so lets get lost again.
I’d choose a wild guess over a sure thing every time.
You know getting lost in life, every now and then’s alright.
You know getting lost in life, every now and then’s alright.
