Sail On
Navigating Heartbreak: Bucky Covington's Soulful Journey
Lyrics
Sail on, down the line
Sailing forward along a path
About half a mile or so
Approximately half a mile or so along the journey
And I don't really wanna know ah
Expressing a lack of desire to know
Where you're going
Uncertain about your destination
Maybe once or twice you see
Possibly a few times
Time after time I tried
Repeated attempts over time
Hold on to what we got
Trying to preserve what we have
But now you're going
However, now you are leaving
And I don't mind
Not bothered by the departure
About the things you're gonna say
Unconcerned about what you will say
Lord, I gave all my money and my time
Invested money and time in the relationship
I know it's a shame
Acknowledging it's regrettable
But I'm giving you back your name
Returning your identity
Guess I'll be on my way
Deciding to part ways
I won't be back to stay
No intention of returning permanently
I guess I'll move along
Choosing to move forward
I'm looking for a good time
Seeking enjoyable experiences
Sail on down the line
Continuing the journey
Ain't it funny how the time can go
Reflecting on the passage of time
All my friends say they told me so
Friends warning about the outcome
But it doesn't matter
Irrelevant because the situation was evident
It was plain to see
Clear that a small-town person like me
That a small town boy like me
Was not your preferred choice
Just I wasn't your cup of tea
Realizing I didn't fit your preferences
I was wishful thinking
Engaging in wishful thinking
I gave you my heart
Offering my heart to you
And I tried to make you happy
Attempting to bring joy to you
And you gave me nothing in return
Receiving nothing in return
You know it ain't so hard to say
Expressing the ease of saying goodbye
Would you please just go away
Kindly asking you to leave
I've thrown away the blues
Overcoming sadness and moving on
I'm tired of being used
Tired of being taken advantage of
I want everyone to know
Desiring everyone to be aware
I'm looking for a good time
Seeking enjoyable experiences (repeated)
Good time
Emphasizing the pursuit of good times
Sail on honey
Continuing to sail forward
Good times never felt so good
Stating that good times never felt better
Sail on honey
Continuing to sail forward (repeated)
Good times never felt so good
Reiterating that good times never felt better
Sail on sugar
Continuing to sail forward (repeated)
Good times never felt so good
Affirming that good times never felt better
Sail on
Concluding with the idea of sailing on
