Charlie Daniels Band - Sail Away lyrics

The house lights blaze, the spotlights dim and the encore fades away We've got five hundred miles to go and another show to play But there's a few old die hard fans still hanging out back stage They're the ones who have been faithful from the start So we renew our old acquaintances and discuss the lives and times Of Tommy, Toy and Ronnie and the ones we've left behind And all the minstrel warriors who got old before their time But they'll always have a lace here in our hearts And it's time to pick up memories and remember our old friends Do you think we'll ever see the likes of Stevie Ray again? Sail away, it's time for moving on This music is my mission and this highway is my home While you sleep, we got promises to keep And miles to go before the morning light We're the tall dark ships that pa** you in the night Thank you for your kind words and for coming to show It's so good to see you all again, we really got to go The weather's getting stormy and they say it's gonna snow And Omaha's a far piece down the line We'll it's sure been fun but the time has come to get on out of here The driver's getting nervous and the road crew's out of beer And if the good Lord's willing, we're gonna see you all next year And we'll drop you all a card at Christmas time But these boys are getting restless and the hours getting late And the time goes by so easy but that highway won't wait Sail away, it's time for moving on This music is my mission and this highway is my home While you sleep, we got promises to keep Miles to go before the morning light We're the tall dark ships that pa** you in the night Sail away, it's time for moving on This music is my mission and this highway is my home While you sleep, we got promises to keep Miles to go before the morning light We're the tall dark ships that pa** you in the night We're the tall dark ships that pa** you in the night
