Andrus & the Mariners - O'er Yonder Lyrics

I know that you can muster up the gumption
So bring that rickety ol' wagon to the docks
If you can come up with somethin' to say
To keep me from casting off these rocks, Lord Lord Lord
Write it down 'cause I'm not staying on these rocks

Our litter of kids looks scrawny
And at a glance they're lookin' rather pail
So when you asked to put their burdens on me
I figured I might as well, Lord Lord Lord
That's why I'm casting off at dawn's first bell

O'er yonder, towards the sunset
Is where I'm sailing with my eyes set
O'er yonder, the shoals are calling
So I reckon i'll be home before the turn of spring

I spent the last four years at the helm
Earning my keep the good ol' fashion way
So when i came home to find a twister plowed on through town
And blew the farm away, Lord Lord Lord
I never unpacked my bags

O'er yonder, towards the sunset
Is where I'm sailing with my eyes set
O'er yonder, the shoals are calling
So I reckon i'll be home before the turn of spring

O'er yonder, towards the sunset
Is where I'm sailing with my eyes set
O'er yonder, the shoals are calling
So I reckon i'll be home before the turn of spring

O'er Yonder, O'er Yonder
I'm earning my keep the good ol' fashioned way
