Sail Away

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 diehard fans still hanging out back stage They're the ones who have been faithful from the start So we renew our old aquaintances and discuss the life 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 ap lace here in our hearts And its time to pick up memories and remember our old freinds Do you think we'll ever see the likes of Stevie Ray again CHORUS Sail away it's time for moving on This music is my mission and this highway is my home While you sleep we've got promises to keep And miles to go before teh morning light We're the tall dark ships that pass you in the night We thank you for your kind words and for coming to the show It's so good to see you all again but we've relly 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 the boys are getting restless and the hours getting late The time goes by so easy but that highway won't wait REPEAT CHORUS --- Sail Away - Charlie Daniels Band
