Big Ships

No one told me if I'd be lonley Or be at peace by now. A head or heal, alive or dead Or just getting by somehow I got a back yard full of curing wood And change for dollar bills And habits that ain't fit for no Living man to sell Been everywhere just barely And always gave my best And I'll keep your secrets Till I'm three sheets to the wind The lonely road I have walked And walked in none the less Biggest ships turn slowly Some are meant to drift Big ships turn slow Stop and take a rest Let the others pass you by Some are meant to drift La la la Hey hey hey I'm just trying to float through another day This silence is beautiful And where I like it best Here your greatest enemy Could one day be your friend Got a window full of plastic flowers A chair and a desk They hold the weight of giving in To expectations Yeah I could write back somehow And say "It's OK" But I'm better at turning off For days, and days, and days. And it ain't the years that aged me It's the miles on this sea Aint no one to blame but me Big ships turn slow Stop and take a rest Let the others pass by Some are made to drift La la la Hey hey hey I'm just trying to get through another day And, There ain't no one to blame, but me There ain't no one to blame, But me There ain't no one to blame, But me There ain't no one to blame, But me
