Lost her to the drink but her soul's intact
Mama said to me be proud of who you are
She saw Jesus in the eyes of a broken man
Sail away I am learning my lesson
Mama sends her love and Godspeed you come home
One little white lie
Was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for her life
Then I stole away woah like a thief in the night
I'm just saying not behind daddy's back
He takes care of her in his overtime
He's no saint I know as he goes around the town
Watch him cry himself to sleep, he's my daddy
Sail away, I will go it alone now
Leave my past behind to seek fortune and fame
One little white lie
Was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for her life
Then I stole away woah like a thief in the night
Sail away, there's a storm in a teacup
Mama sends her love and Godspeed you come home
One little white lie
Was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for her life
Then I stole away woah like a thief in the night
One little white lie
Was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away like a prodigal son
And wished her the best for her life
Then I stole away woah like a thief in the night
