I Don't Know a Thing

I was born on a ship and my poor momma died
I will carry that weight
I would not have chosen this life

The cuts on my hand from the ropes that I tie
Make me a hard man
I would not have chosen this life

But the wind just sees this jaded man
The Sea is my only friend...

Though I have mastered the tricks of my trade
I'm a desperate fool and I'm deeply ashamed
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
No, I don't know a thing

I once kiiled a man in the heat of a fight
It didn't feel good
But it felt so right, oh oh oh!

If you wore my boots for even one night
You may do the same
I would not have chosen this life

I'm walking this path that is littered with glass
But I can't feel a thing cause the souls of my feet
Are so littered with shards from the last hundred yards, yo ho ho
And I'll keep on the same till the day that the King
Comes to right what is wrong, I'll be moving along
But for now can be one people who sing this song without words?
