lyrics

On the Way to LA

I heard the Captain Yell “All Hands on Deck”
“Ships Going Down”, “Ships Going Down”
First Mate Said “We’re Taking Water on Quick”
“Ships Going Down”, “Ships Going Down”
Cut Loose the Life Boats if we’re to Survive
Woman and Children go First, “Eye-Eye”
Passed me that Bottle with Tears in his Eye’s
“We’re going Down Son; We’re All Going to Die”

Your Brave now Son is there Hope for us Now
Move to the Bow, Get in there Now
Button Down Hatches if you Don’t know How
Move to the Bow, Move to the Bow
Shiver me Timbers I Know what they Mean
“Land A-Hoy” Never be Seen
Seventy-Four Men Lost Out at Sea
Why couldn’t it be Seventy-Three

( chorus )

Now I Need to Think, Can’t Stand the Stuttered Cries
Lord I Need a Drink, One Sip a Cheap Wine
Ships Gonna Sink, I Can’t Get Away
Daddy Can’t Sleep, One Wink Since I Died
MaMa’s on the Brink, One Step from Suicide
Brother’s Gonna Think, I Moved Far Away
On the Way to LA, On the Way to LA

Two Men are Left, the Captain and I
No Fearless Crew, No Fearless Crew
Strong Will to Live, A Need to Survive
No Fearless Crew, No Fearless Crew
Somehow I Knew you’d be Here in the End
All I can Think of is Family and Friends
Life Passing by Me Again and Again
Give Me That Bottle, This is the End


Now I Need to Think, Can’t Stand the Stuttered Cries
Lord I Need a Drink, One Sip a Cheap Wine
Ships Gonna Sink, I Can’t Get Away
Daddy Can’t Sleep, One Wink Since I Died
MaMa’s on the Brink, One Step from Suicide
Brother’s Gonna Think, I Moved Far Away
On the Way to LA, On the Way to LA
