I've been in one
place for too long it's true
Ever since that fateful day last June
When I lost her for good
all because of a boat
I thought she'd like to sail
but she just wasn't made to float
I've been logging shoreline miles,
walking the beach
Trying to find a new love
since I lost mine at sea
Shoreline miles, it's safer on foot
Now I'm a wandering soul
who just can't stay put
The wind picked up and we got cold and wet
She got seasick,
the boom hit her in the head
Then I ran it aground,
had to call the Coast Guard
Had to pay for the tow
with her credit card
I've been logging shoreline miles,
walking the beach
Trying to find a new love
since I lost mine at sea
Shoreline miles, it's safer on foot
Now I'm a wandering soul
who just can't stay put
I learned my lesson to never sail on a date
She called it off in a storm,
so it must have been fate
A bad decision,
one I'll never make again
Now I'm a landlubber,
hallelujah, amen
I've been mogging shoreline miles
Walking the beach
Trying to find a new love
Since I lost mine at sea
Shoreline miles
It's safer off foot
Now I'm a wandering soul
Who just can't stay put
Sold the boat last fall
The winter's been so long
Thought she'd take me back
But I couldn't have been more wrong
I thought I'd miss her
But I miss the boat even more
Now spring is here
and I'm taken to the shore
I've been logging shoreline miles
Walking the beach,
trying to find a new love
since I lost mine at sea.
Shoreline miles, it's safer on foot.
Now I'm a wandering soul
who just can't stay put.
