Board a sinking ship, or an angry sea Longing for the faces of my friends and family Shine a light on me,n' guide my way back home Sail the seven seas, agents a mighty wind Longing for a place that I may never see again Shine a light on me, however far I roam Full steam ahead, secure the cargo below Wicked storm is blowing though the gulf of Mexico Shine your light on me, 'cause I'm your wayward son As the bitter wind, blows through my tattered soul The boat is taking water, and I can't patch all the holes Shine your light on me,n' guide my way back home (Alright, here we go) (Sounds good to me) And I wish I may, and I wish I might Navigate this wayward vessel safely though the night Shine your light on me,n' guide my way back home Full steam ahead, secure the cargo below Wicked storm is blowing though the gulf of Mexico Shine your light on me, however far I roam I'll send a S.O.S., I'm callin' ship to shore She's been taking it so far, but she won't take it anymore Shine your light on me,n' guide my way back home
