What is that sound what is that noise
|
I cannot figure it out for the life of me boys
|
Is it the coast guard or is it the wind
|
Is it the mother ship comin' again
|
|
Convicted on charges of supply and demand he was unloadin' the American Dream
|
Caught in the middle of a bigger plan it was a South American scheme
|
He is no smuggler he is a fisherman all of his debts they are owed to the sea
|
Some call it justice but it just ain't right this ain't live and let live and let be
|
He sing what is that sound...
|
[ steel ]
|
Layin' in his cell and thinkin' bout Ulysses
|
How he picked up his oar and walked away from the sea
|
Until someone said you ain't from round here are you
|
And that's how far away he feels
|
He thinks of his wife and he thinks of his children
|
Ande thinks about 'em takin' his boat
|
He thinks about the killer in the bunk below
|
And he's tryin' to keep his hopes afloat
|
He sing what is that sound...
|
Singin' what is that sound...
