GSail on down the line 'bout a Dhalf a mile or so
And I Cdon't really wanna know, Gwhere you're goin'
GMaybe once or twice you see, Dtime after time I tried
Tried to Chold on to what we got, but Gnow you're goin'
 CAnd I don't mind about the Gthings you're gonna say, lord
 CI gave all my money and my Gtime
I know, I Cknow it's a shame
But I'm Ggiving you back your nameD  
CGuess I'll be on my way/ I won't be back to stay
GI guess I'll move along/ I'm looking for a Cgood time                               
GSail on down the line, ain't it Dfunny how the time can go
All my Cfriends say they told me so but it Gdoesn't matter
GIt was plain to see that a Dsmall town girl like me
CJust wasn't your cup of tea, I was Gwishful thinkin'
CI gave you my heart and I Gtried to make you happy
CAnd you gave me nothing in Greturn
You know it Cain't so hard to say/ Would you Gplease just go awayD  
CI've thrown away the blues/ I'm tired of being used
I want Geveryone to know/I'm looking for a Cgood time, Dgood time
GSail on, Dhoney, Cgood times never Gfelt so good
CSail on, Dhoney, Cgood times never Gfelt so good
GSail on, Dsugar, Cgood times never Gfelt so good
GSail on, Dhoney, Cgood times never Gfelt so good...
