Sailor lyrics

[Intro]
You ain't gonna get me, honey, no way

[Verse 1]
Tearing down the highway in the pouring rain
Escaping from my wedding day
I heard the bells ringing in the local church
The ceremony's nearly under way
Telegrams came and the cheap champagne
Was driving everybody out of their brains
But I convinced my best friends I lost my nerve
And I pleaded I was being framed

[Chorus]
"Sailor show me which way to go"
I screamed out loud
"Sailor show me which way to go," ow

[Verse 2]
Such a deadly silence
Due to my defiance
The wedding ground to a halt
Said I changed my mind
Ain't no use in your trying
So her brother punched me in the throat
Her mother got hysterical
The b*tch was cynical
Father's in the corner drunk
Picking myself off the floor
I ran to the door
Damned if I was skippin' on my way, haha
[Chorus]
"Sailor show me which way to go"
You should have heard the noise
Said "Sailor show me which way to go," woo

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
So keep clean, girlie
Find a man that's truly
Gonna love you from dusk 'til dawn, woo
Keep your front door key
Don't give him up for me
'Cause tomorrow I may be gone
You see, your would be keepers
Tossin', all night creepin'
Ain't nobody gonna change in there
Who thinks a marriage life should be like a dog's life
So let's renew it when the year runs out, that's right

[Chorus]
Sailor show me which way to go, haha, yeah
Sailor show me which way to go, woo

[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
She had a belly full of lust but she had no bust
