Sail Away Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

The house lights blaze, the spotlights dim and the encore fades away 

We've got five hundred miles to go and another show to play 

But there's a few old die hard fans still hanging out back stage 

They're the ones who have been faithful from the start 

So we renew our old acquaintances and discuss the lives and times 

Of Tommy, Toy and Ronnie and the ones we've left behind 

And all the minstrel warriors who got old before their time 

But they'll always have a lace here in our hearts 

And it's time to pick up memories and remember our old friends 

Do you think we'll ever see the likes of Stevie Ray again? 

Sail away, it's time for moving on 

This music is my mission and this highway is my home 

While you sleep, we got promises to keep 

And miles to go before the morning light 

We're the tall dark ships that pass you in the night 

Thank you for your kind words and for coming to show 

It's so good to see you all again, we really got to go 

The weather's getting stormy and they say it's gonna snow 

And Omaha's a far piece down the line 

We'll it's sure been fun but the time has come to get on out of here 

The driver's getting nervous and the road crew's out of beer 

And if the good Lord's willing, we're gonna see you all next year 

And we'll drop you all a card at Christmas time 

But these boys are getting restless and the hours getting late 

And the time goes by so easy but that highway won't wait 

Sail away, it's time for moving on 

This music is my mission and this highway is my home 

While you sleep, we got promises to keep 

Miles to go before the morning light 

We're the tall dark ships that pass you in the night 

Sail away, it's time for moving on 

This music is my mission and this highway is my home 

While you sleep, we got promises to keep 

Miles to go before the morning light 

We're the tall dark ships that pass you in the night 

We're the tall dark ships that pass you in the night
