For my fellow sailors, Past and Present...

Recommended Posts

Alright, anyone who's spent any time at sea aboard a Navy ship knows the excitement of the last day. After listening to Sawyer Brown's "Six Days on the Road", I got an idea. I rewrote it, called "Six Months out at Sea" Now, for you're pleasure, here are the lyrics. I haven't recorded it yet, and I'm almost afriad to...I sing horribly.

 

 

Well I pulled out of Hawaii headin' up to Southern C-A

We've got the turbines spun up and she's running like a never before

There's the sun overhead all right, I don't see a cloud in sight

Six months out at sea and I'm gonna make it home tonight

 

I got two screws spinnin and the rudder's stearin' right,

I'm seein' little white birds and my eyes are open wide

Just passed a Yacht on the right, we've been passing everything in sight

Six months out at sea and I'm gonna make it home tonight

 

Well it seems like a year since I kissed my baby goodbye

I could have a lot of woman but I'm not like some of the guys

I could find one to hold me me tight,

But I could not make believe it's right

Six months out at sea and I'm gonna make it home tonight

 

Well this ol' CG is a chuggin' on down the line

we're a little ahead of time and our log books are way behind

But nothing bothers me tonight, I can dodge all the stops all right

Six months out at sea and I'm gonna make it home tonight

 

Our ship's a little old but that don't mean she's slow

There's a flame from her stack and the smoke's rolling black as coal

Our home port is coming in sight, if you think we're happy your right

Six months out at sea and I'm gonna make it home tonight

 

Six months out at sea and I'm gonna make it home tonight

 

Six months out at sea

I'm gonna make it home tonight
