i sailed in on the good intent with all intentions clear a man without a mystery a vision brought me here the ocean gave me room to roam but the shore is calling out so i will marry build a home and see what that s about children came by dozens then drifting south like rain i worked the soil i used the gun the waves have to turned to grain i tried to love this arkansas with black and bleeding hands but i will not survive this life but i ll become a man my brother sold my mother s house i never shed a tear i could watch the world in smoke there s nothin for me here i ve seen behind the darkened vail it s all i want to know so i ll sail off on the good intent to my true happy home yes i ll sail off on the good intent never more to roam
