Lyrics"Shipwreck Waiting To Happen"
Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.
It might seem like you’re floating through life like a leaf But just below the surface there’s a dangerous reef Some say you've sailed too hard for too long You're body's all worn out And some say you'll probably live forever But to me there ain't no doubt, that You're a shipwreck waiting to happen With teakwood that's starting to leak You're a shipwreck waiting to happen Too young to look like an antique You're a shipwreck waiting to happen The skipper who's always drunk You're a shipwreck waiting to happen Get repairs before you get sunk Some folks say you're fading with time Your mind ain't what it used to be But you're sailing off without a care in the world On a collision course with destiny, can't you see You're a shipwreck waiting to happen With teakwood that's starting to leak You're a shipwreck waiting to happen Too young to look like an antique You're a shipwreck waiting to happen The skipper who's always drunk You're a shipwreck waiting to happen Get repairs before you get sunk Well there's a lot of ways you can live your life You can eat right and exercise Or live a devil-may-care life of sin And throw caution to the wind Some say deep down there's treasure within It might be grim but you could salvage your soul If you don't tack soon it may be too late You're headed straight for a rocky shoal, watch out 'cause Repeat Chorus Copyright © ℗ 2018 by Scott Cooley.
