looking for love and she is gone over the glen
and I've been awaitin' since a quarter to mind
I listen alone
dyslexia's got me
so books on a tape
and cd do just fine

chorus
the old man and the sea
the old man and the sea
the old man and the sea
and Jack Kerouac and me
the old man and the sea
the old man and the sea
on the road or out fishin'
its all good to me

now Hemingway's gift was a reason for livin'
a reason for dying
a reason to cry
and Jack had a knack
that was kind of note taking
oh so beautiful, he'd never lie

chorus

and I'm still a sippin'
this love my love's giving
she's working for money
till late in the night
and I have from travels
come home on the ravels
alone I am hopeful for no eight hour drives

chorus
