"Sail Away" lyrics
Hey
Years ago I met a man
I said greetings and I shook his hand
But I never knew that man would change my life
We hung around for a couple of days
And we blazed I met his wife
And although they smiled
I knew that something wasn't right
One Sunday night we watched a fight
And we tossed a couple back
And we shared a doobie
I smiled and told my friend goodnight
To my surprise
I opened my eyes
I had to fight to stop my anxious cries
'Cause that night my old amigo took his life
But still I pray today
Won't Come to goodbyes
But I guess that's what this is
As you Sail Away
I pray I see you all again
It's got me feeling so lonesome
All the Time
But I guess that's what this is
'Cause life takes away
All of the people I call friends
My homie Pino was stressed out
He wanted weed
So he got his woman's son and they left the house
At like eleven with their friends
Loud shouts shots rang out
And I guess that was the end
'Cause they shot my friends
I never seen my friends again
Maxed out
I scream and shout
And sometimes I sit around my house
With my gun I contemplate making it end
No doubt constantly
I'm haunted by all the memories
Of my friends
Each time I smile my smile's pretend
But still I pray today
Won't Come to goodbyes
But I guess that's what this is
As you Sail Away
I pray I see you all again
It's got me feeling so lonesome
All the Time
But I guess that's what this is
'Cause life takes away
All of the people I call friends
My little brother turned eighteen
He grabbed a thirty-eight
He had no idea the spindle spun that way
Tried to play that game that he played each day
But when he played that day things didn't go his way
There was a gunshot
His sister glanced and she saw a startled look fall into place
And she's been broken since that day
That's why I pray
I'm screaming some one help us please
'Cause this pain I feel has got me weak
'Cause I'm praying begging Jesus please
'Cause I'm dying crawling on my knees
I just miss people Wish my People
Stayed on Earth with me
'Cause ever since all of my people left
My soul's been incomplete
But still I pray today
Won't Come to goodbyes
But I guess that's what this is
As you Sail Away
I pray I see you all again
It's got me feeling so lonesome
All the Time
But I guess that's what this is
'Cause life takes away
All of the people I call friends
Lonesome all the time
But I guess that's what this is
'Cause life takes away
All of the people I call friends
Outlaws
All of the People I call Friends
Years ago I met a man
I said greetings and I shook his hand
But I never knew that man would change my life
We hung around for a couple of days
And we blazed I met his wife
And although they smiled
I knew that something wasn't right
One Sunday night we watched a fight
And we tossed a couple back
And we shared a doobie
I smiled and told my friend goodnight
To my surprise
I opened my eyes
I had to fight to stop my anxious cries
'Cause that night my old amigo took his life
But still I pray today
Won't Come to goodbyes
But I guess that's what this is
As you Sail Away
I pray I see you all again
It's got me feeling so lonesome
All the Time
But I guess that's what this is
'Cause life takes away
All of the people I call friends
