Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'd rather be sailing, yes, I would

On an open sea

I'd stand at the railing if I could

Feeling wild and free

[Verse 2]

The sun is on my neck

The wind is in my face

The water's incredibly blue

And I'd rather be sailing

Yes, I'd wanna go sail

And then come home to you

[Verse 3]

Sex is good, but I'd rather be sailing

Food is nice, but I'd rather be sailing

People are swell, but I'd rather be sailing

Over the horizon

[Verse 4]

And I'd rather be sailing, yes I would

On an open sea

I'd stand there inhaling if I could

Feeling wild and free

[Verse 5]

The sun is on my neck

The wind is in my face

The sea is incredibly blue

And I'd rather be sailing

Yes, I'd wanna go sail

And then come home to you

I'd rather be sailing

Yes, I'd wanna go sail

And then come home to you
