David Nelson Band - Man Overboard Lyrics



David Nelson Band - Man Overboard Lyrics




Middle of the ocean in a teak canoe
Man overboard, no, make that two
Nothing to drink but French champagne
And tin can chowder for 2 cents plain

Me and Moth Benning and Dakota Sue
Woke up one morning with nothing to do
We'd done everything's ever been done
Time to start over beginning at one

Man overboard
Swim if you can
Float if you don't
Since the world began

Me and Moth Benning and Dakota Sue
She looks like me and I look like you
You look like us when shove comes to push
Upside down, dragged through a bush

Some of my feelings about the past
Depend on the shadows that they still cast
I still can't read my watch in the dark
But an educated guess ain't far from the mark

Man overboard
Swim if you can
Float if you don't
Since the world began

Dakota Sue, Moth Benning and me
Man overboard, no, make that three
From the golden hills of Mandu-Kat
To the pits of Texas in one hour flat

Checking my shoes for chewing gum
Got no flavor but it helps me some
Like all things good picked up on the street
Refined in silence with a strong back-beat

Man overboard
Swim if you can
Float if you don't
Since the world began

Of all the lessons I ever learned
How to stand in the fire and not get burned
Listen to the one with the least to say
As my father said before he passed away

Middle of the ocean in a teak canoe
Man overboard, no, make that two
Nothing to drink but French champagne
And tin can chowder for 2 cents plain
