Composer: Lionel Richie

Sail on down the line
About a half mile or so
And I don’t really wanna know
Where you’re goin’

Maybe once or twice you see
Time after time I’ve tried
To hold on to what we’ve got
But now you’re goin’

And I don’t mind ‘bout the things you’re gonna say, Lord
I gave all my money and my time
I know it’s a shame
But I’m givin’ you back your name, yeah, yeah

Guess I’ll be on my way
I won’t be back to stay
I guess I’ll move along
I’m lookin’ for a good time

Sail on down the line
Ain’t it funny how the time can go
All my friends say they told me so
But it doesn’t matter

It was plain to see
That a small town boy like me
Just wasn’t your cup of tea
I was wishful thinking

I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy
And you gave me nothing in return
You know it ain’t so hard to say
Would you please just go away, yeah, yeah

I’ve thrown away the blues
I’m tired of bein’ used
I want everyone to know
I’m lookin’ for a good time, good time

Whoa, sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good

Sail on, sugar
Good times never felt so good
