about

This song was originally written for Homecoming, but never released or even recorded for that matter. It's pretty self-explanatory, so I'll leave this one alone so you can apply it to your own situation. The "Ready set go!" you hear in the beginning is Cody Gabehart counting me off in the studio. We thought it was hilarious so we left it in. Now it's probably the most referenced section of any song I've ever recorded.

Previously unreleased.

lyrics

Open seas beyond, so much life ahead of me
But I keep wanting to drop my anchor in the sea
No time for rest now, I tell myself I'll sleep when I'm dead
See I live for the innocent white lies in my head

This trip's getting longer
This ship's getting stronger
I can feel it ride against the waves
Through rain, sleet and hail
And I'll pray for smooth sailing
Maybe I'll rest my weary heart someday

I talk to the captain, he said "Son, you're bound to be free."
But I'm not sure that's how I planned my life to be
I guess I really have changed
He said "Son, where's your heart and where's your soul?"
I said "That ship's already set sail many years ago."

Things have calmed down some
I think my ship's reached the shore
But I can't help but feel like there's just something more
So despite where I've been
I shove off and set sail again
The clouds are just as dark but my hair is growing thin

I live for the innocent white lies
I live for the innocent white lies
I live for the innocent white lies in my head
I live for the innocent white lies
I live for the innocent white lies
I live for the innocent white lies in my head
I live for the innocent white lies
I live for the innocent white lies
I live for the innocent white lies in my head
I live for the innocent white lies
I live for the innocent white lies
So lie to me and tell me there's calm seas ahead...
