Rocky Boat Lyrics I was on that rocky boat
Trying to sing and catch my note
But my face turned blue and green
Oh, the ocean big and mean
So my friends say that I've strayed
Say I lost my destined way
But the devil ain't so real,
Because now is how I feel
Chorus:
I am free, I am free
Ain't nobody gonna lie to me
And my cup inside is clean
And the mountains tall and green
Say goodbye to the devil's door
Swim away from the ocean floor
Living waters inside me
I am free, I am free, I am free
Off I go into the night
I sing my tunes, I fake the light
I crack a smile and when I'm cued
I read the lines and spit 'em right
Home is where I never lack
I drive the truck, I leave the pack
But home I have no bed
Got no place to rest my head
Repeat Chorus
Hey ho, where do you go?
Where do you go when nobody's home
Hey ho, where do you go?
Where do you go when nobody's home
Crowded rooms and crowded tears
Designed on the tenor man's song
And he sang with such emotion
Like the ocean was a sky
He never sang in melody, but he always came along
He was dancing with the prophets
He was singing from the mountains
He was rambling with the orphans
Just a suit and tie and a feed back microphone
Oh...
I was on that rocky boat
Trying to sing and catch my note
But my face turned blue and green
Oh, the ocean big and mean
But God is here, and God is there
God is dark, and God is fair
Letting love arrange this song
All in love where we belong
Repeat Chorus
Hey ho, where do you go?
Where do you go when nobody's home...
Story behind the song:
Here's a crazy song about falling off the track, and having people notice it and saying, "Oh, how could you?" But it's me sort of firing back and saying "Hey, I'm free, wherever I go." Especially on the bridges and toward the end, there's a Harry Chapin element in the song -- I want to regain that theater element he had, which you either love or think is corny. It's a crazy, simple, fun song.
