[Verse 1: Lionel Ritchie]
Sail on down the line 'bout half a mile or so
And don't really wanna know where you're goin'
Maybe once or twice, you see, time after time
I tried to, to hold on to what we got, but now you're goin'

[Verse 2: Lionel Ritchie]
And I don't mind about the things you're gonna say, Lord
I gave all my money and my time
I know it's a shame, but I'm givin' you back your name, yeah, yeah
Yes, I'll be on my way, I won't be back to stay
I guess I'll move along, I'm lookin' for a good time

[Verse 3: Tim McGraw & Both]
Sail on down the line, ain't it funny how the time can go on?
Friends say they told me so, but it doesn't matter
It was plain to see that a small town boy like me
Just wasn't your cup of tea
I was wishful thinkin'

[Verse: Both, Lionel Ritchie, & Tim McGraw]
I gave you my heart, and I tried to make you happy
And you gave me nothin' in return
You know, it ain't so hard to say, "Would you please just go away," yeah, yeah
I've thrown away the blues, I'm tired of bein' used
I want everyone to know I'm lookin' for a good time, a good time
[Outro: Both]
Sail on, honey, good times never felt so good
Sail on, honey, good times never felt so good
Sail on, sugar, good times never felt so good
Woo, come on
Come on
Sail on, honey, yeah
Sail on sugar, yeah, yeah
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on
Sail on, ow
Sail on, sail on, sail on, hey-hey, hey-hey
Sail on, sugar, yeah
Sail on, ow, ooh-hoo, honey
Sail on ooh-hoo, ow, honey
