Backstory:
A sailor's life is always rough and ready for when he hits those high seas. My sea legs have gone out from under me, I'm three sheets to the wind.

Lyrics:
My ropes are loose… Near out of control
Far beyond my highest speed
Looking out of the ship’s porthole
Tipsy from a quart of mead
Tonight I’m one sheet in the wind’s eye
Thinkin’ I’ll down another quart
Soon I will be sailing high
Hangin’ on till I hit that port
No room for error… No time for shuteye
No room for error… No time for shuteye
(Chorus)
Deep waters make for watery graves
Drunken sailors are lost in the swell of the waves
Prayers and omens while they’re flounderin’
When they’re three sheets to the wind
(Verse 2)
A tottering course… A bit unsteady
Ship sails flappin’ in the breeze
A sailor’s life is rough and ready
For hittin’ those high seas
And like an old drunk staggers groggily
Toper and tossed about
My sea legs have gone from under me
Lookin’ for some Irish stout
No room for error… No time for shuteye
No room for error… No time for shuteye
(Chorus)
Deep waters make for watery graves
Drunken sailors are lost in the swell of the waves
Prayers and omens while they’re flounderin’
When they’re three sheets to the wind
(Guitar Solo)
(Down Chorus)
Deep waters make for watery graves
Drunken sailors are lost in the swell of the waves
Prayers and omens while they’re flounderin’
When they’re three sheets to the wind
(Outro Chorus) (2X - Fade Out)
Deep waters make for watery graves
Drunken sailors are lost in the swell of the waves
Prayers and omens while they’re flounderin’
When they’re three sheets to the wind
