Rod Stewart Sailor lyrics

Ooh!
You ain't gonna get me honey, no way

Tearing down the highway in the pouring rain
Escaping from my wedding day
I heard the bells ringing in the local church
The ceremony's nearly under way

Telegrams came and the cheap champagne
Was driving everybody out of their brains
But I convinced my best friends I lost my nerve
And I pleaded I was being framed

"Sailor, show me which way to go"
I screamed out loud
"Sailor, show me which way to go"

Such a deadly silence due to my defiance
The wedding ground to a halt
Said, "I changed my mind, ain't no use in your trying"
So her brother punched me in the throat

Her mother got hysterical, the bitch was cynical
Father's in the corner drunk

Picking myself off the floor I ran to the door
Damned if I was skippin' on my way

"Sailor, show me which way to go"
You still have to know it
I said, "Sailor, show me which way to go"

So keep clean girlie
Find a man that's truly gonna love you from dusk till dawn
Keep your front door key, don't give him up for me
'Cause tomorrow I may be gone

You see, your would be keepers, [Incomprehensible] all night creepin'
Nobody gonna change in there
Who thinks a marriage life should be like a dog's life
So let's renew it when the year runs out

Sailor show me which way to go
Sailor show me which way to go

She had a belly full of lust but she had no bust
