I Sailed In On The Good Intent
With All Intentions Clear
A Man Without A Mystery
A Vision Brought Me Here
The Ocean Gave Me Room To Roam
But The Shore Is Calling Out
So I Will Marry, Built A Home
And See What That's About

Children Came By The Dozens Then
Drifting South Like Rain
I Worked The Soil, I Used The Gun
The Waves Have To Turned To Grain
I Tried To Love This Arkansas
With Black And Bleeding Hands
But I Will Not Survive This Life
But I'll Become A Man

My Brother Sold My Mother's House
I Never Shed A Tear
I Could Watch The World In Smoke
There's Nothin' For Me Here
I've Seen Behind The Darkened Vail
That's All I Want To Know

So I'll Sail Off On The Good Intent
To My True Happy Home
Yes, I Sail Off On The Good Intent
Never More To Roam
