Lyrics:
Have you heard of the ship
Called the good Reuben James?
Run by hard fighting men
Both of honor and of fame
She flew the Stars and Stripes
I was pretty well satisfied
Had my little lady right by my side
Takin' it easy, yeah still waitin'
Worm been gone off-a that hook for a couple
much care
I guess I was pretty well satisfied
Had my little lady right by my side
Takin' it easy, yeah still waitin'
Worm been gone off-a that hook
now, I must not see the water,
let me sip weakness from your dark nipples
in the water
And never get wet
If you keep on doing that rag
If you keep on doing that rag
One eyed jacks and the deuces are wild
The aces are
and stare at stars
So in a spot out by the lake
We listened to jack johnson play
And watched the stars just fade away
We could sleep so we stayed awak
anything at all to be anywhere but here
Your breathin' only steadies when you start to disappear
You wanna be in mountains or smellin' water by the coast
Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James
Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame?
She flew the Stars and Stripes
Fires that light up the shore
Water-gathered wood frowning into the smoke
Salted sunburned cheeks
Hourglass-grasping the sand
Moved by thinking hands
By the shores of Gitche Gumee
By the shining Big Sea Water
Downward through the evening twilight
In the days that are forgotten
From the land
Park, it's dark, it's winter in December
I see my target, put my car in park, and approach a tender
Young girl by the name of Brenda, and I pretend
me now, I must not see the water,
Let me sip weakness from your dark nipples
Well, the anchor has been tested
I guess we'll stay put for awhile
I put the fire where it wanted
Watched the water become dry
Once more, I was
Have you heard about the big strong man?
He lived in a caravan have you heard about
The Jeffries-Johnson fight?
Oh, what a hell of a fight
You can
much care
I guess I was pretty well satisfied
Had my little lady right by my side
Takin' it easy, yeah still waitin'
Worm been gone off-a that hook
moved on
I remember clear mountain mornings
Sunsets by the lake
Feet in the water
Breeze blowing
The touch of your imbrace
If I could turn back time
I'd
A full moon shinin' bright
Edge of the water, we were feelin' alright
Back down a country road
The girls are always hot and the beer is ice cold
Jack Johnson, yes my dog, right with them!
The most special, most ghetto, most method, most valuable
Rep my avenue like is the damn state capital
Colorado passes by like writing on a wall
Headed Eastward down to New Orleans
Dipping into Texas as the stars are fading out
But there's still
town the circuit's full of switchblade lovers so fast, so shiny, so sharp
As the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past dark
Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James
Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame?
She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land
Rusalka, Rusalka your arms out of water
Your hair like an alien bloom
Dark-eyed Rusalka, your brow tressed in flowers
Pale in a liminal moon
town the circuit's full of switchblade lovers so fast, so shiny, so sharp
As the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past dark
Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James
Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame?
She flew the Stars and Stripes
