Steel on the Water

Some from the cod
More from the pole
Few for tradition
Some last resort
No love getting in
Or luck getting out
There’s steel on the water and boots on the ground
There’s steel on the water and boots on the ground
Well the waves can be rough
But the days can be rougher
Goodbye to a girl
Hello to a brother
A heartache at sea
Where no one can tell
That the battle he fights is the one with himself
Yeah, the battle he fights is the one with himself
Well, I’m just a singer, loud in the hanger
Playing songs from the heart of dry land
Well, what do I know?
I’m here for the show
I’m here for the lover, strain for a stand
It’s home at the bow
Alone at the stern
Oh-one-hundred, he’s thinking of her
With the sea in his blood, and tears in his eyes
May the ocean rock you to sleep tonight
Well his vision is hazy
The water is clear
Gone in a moment
Most of the year
Bringing home something, something for three
A mom at a table, a dad on a screen
A mom at a table, a dad on a screen
Well I’m just the guy, brought in with the band
Here for something I won’t feel again
Playing for glory, I’m playing for sin
I’m here for the lover’s looking ahead
To the home at the bow, alone at the stern
Oh-one-hundred, he’s thinking of her
With the sea in his blood and tears in his eyes
May the ocean rock you to sleep tonight
Woah…
Well I’m just a man, shakin' the hand
Of a hero on water, and heart on the stand
With the love for a girl and pride for his land
We’re leaning on something we can’t understand
Oh, it’s home at the bow, alone at the stern
Oh-one-hundred, he’s thinking of her
With the sea in his blood and tears in his eyes
May the ocean rock you to sleep tonight
May the ocean rock you to sleep tonight
Some from the cod
More from the pole
Few for tradition
Some last resort
No love getting in
Or luck getting out
There’s steel on the water and boots on the ground
There’s steel on the water and boots on the ground
