Lyrics

SINKING SHIP RAG
(Words and Music by Michael W. Avery)

Just like a stream that never finds the sea
Just like a stream that never finds the sea
I've got a restless heart longing to be free

You wound me with love then want my company
You wound me with love then want my company
And you watch it all from the ruins of your balcony

So I'm looking for a road that leads to anywhere
So I'm looking for a road that leads to anywhere
You tell me it's over but I don't really care

You can't swim long against a changing tide
You can't swim long against a changing tide
When it comes to trouble, I will not be denied

Find me a sinking ship no matter where it's going
Find me a sinking ship no matter where it's going
Pretending ain't the same as not knowing

Nice little blues number. Great guitar work. A very well structured tune. Classic county/blues. Nice job.

Nice natural feel, dobro is real nice and the slight banjo licks add just the right touch. Well played and performed !!

Love the sound of this song. Fun and real! The instrumentation is perfect! good work!

Honors a great ole southern style. I had a wonderful time toe tapping to this one.
