I feel like a beat up back road

All full of potholes

Man, I'm on a hell of a ride

Doing my best and I can't get arrested

I can't get time on my side

Down on my luck and I'm down on my knees

And I'm down to my last dirty dime

Red sky morning, it keeps on pouring

Just like the tears in my eyes.

I'm looking for smooth sailing

Feeling the breeze on my back

Get my blues fading

My weather and my wheels on track

Come hell or high water

The sun's gonna shine

Might not be tomorrow but I know I'm gonna find

Smooth sailing

Watch me sail away.

The flowers are dying

My woman is crying herself to sleep every night

And people try to be nice and they give me advice

But they ain't got a dog in this fight

What's left of my faith is a drop in the tank

Here lately, I've been running on fumes

But there's a new sun rising on the horizon

Lord, I hope I get there soon.

I'm looking for smooth sailing

Feeling the breeze on my back

Get my blues fading

My weather and my wheels on track

Come hell or high water

The sun's gonna shine

Might not be tomorrow but I know I'm gonna find

Smooth sailing

I'm looking for smooth sailing.

I could use it, I could use it

I could use a little tide turn

I could use it before I lose it

I could use a little

I could use a little smooth sailing.

I'm looking for smooth sailing

Feeling the breeze on my back

Get my blues fading

My weather and my wheels on track

Come hell or high water

The sun's gonna shine

Might not be tomorrow but I know I'm gonna find

Smooth sailing

I'm looking for smooth sailing

Watch me sail away.
