South of You

  • Sailed out of Biscayne Bay
    Headed for the island
    No map, no plans, no place to be
    One broken heart to fix
    So many memories
    One photograph of you and me

    I may be somewhere east of nowhere
    Somewhere west of a town
    That sits just north of an unknown latitude
    I will sail this ship forever
    Till I reach peace of mind
    Live my life somewhere south of you

    I've heard you say a thousand times
    I'd never be a sailor
    Yeah that's one thing that I may never be
    When a pirate makes his mind up
    And it don't care where he's going
    He'll find a wind and ride out on the sea

    I may be somewhere east of nowhere
    Somewhere west of a town
    That sits just north of an unknown latitude
    I will sail this ship forever
    Till I reach peace of mind
    Live my life somewhere south of you

    I will sail my ship forever
    Till I reach peace of mind
    Live my life somewhere south of you Writer/s: EDWARD FUTCH, TOBY KEITH
