lyrics

Navy Man

The way the kids can drink these days he said and raised a glass
If I ever drank that way I’d be flat on my ass
Still I sidled next to him and bought the man a drink
He sized me up through wire frames didn’t say a thing

Three buck for a shot of jack two bucks for a beer
If I was drinking by myself I’d spend the whole night here

He let me rattle on a while about some things I’d done
Then he said when I was your age I had my second son
He said he captained tugboats a navy man to start
Blew a lot of buildings up in some pointless war

Now he guides the tankers from rivers out to sea
Spends his night holding court and trying not to freeze

What would you do differently if you had the chance
What if your decisions weren’t bound by circumstance
He told me everything he’d done led him to this spot
If he chose another path he’d be someone he’s not

Every cross road he walked through advice that he ignored
Kept him on his proper course god opened a door

I threw back a shot of jack stood and shook his hand
Said it was my pleasure to meet a navy man
Outside in the shock of night the snow had nearly stopped
I felt like something stuck in me was suddenly unblocked
