Citizen Badger - Should Have Been a Sailor Lyrics

I should have been a sailor
Living in a different time
An overseas navigator
With quick wit and weathered mind

Anthologies of false triumphs
Passed from man to man
Working months at a time
Doing the tasks at hand

I should have been a sailor
Living in a different time
An overseas navigator
With quick wit and weathered mind

I could have sailed through storms
That would make you fear God
And seen the calm of seas
Few men ever drift upon

I should have been a sailor
Living in a different time
An overseas navigator
With quick wit and weathered mind

Calloused hands and hot tempers
The only life I've ever known
Waves and strong currents
Distant winds that have blown

I should have been a sailor
Living in a different time
An overseas navigator
With quick wit and weathered mind

I should have been a sailor
Living in a different time
An overseas navigator
With quick wit and weathered mind
