[Chorus]

Follow in my wake, you've not that much at stake

For I have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters

Come along, let's have some fun, the hard work has been done

We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for starters


[Verse 1]

Just for starters, barometer's my soup

I'm descended from a deck hand on a sloop

I travel on the song lines that only dreamers see

Not known for predictability


[Chorus]

Come and follow our wake, you've not that much at stake

For we have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters

Come along, let's have fun, it seems our work is done

We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for starters


[Verse 2]

Sail the main course in a simple, sturdy craft

Keep her well-stocked with short stories and long laughs

Go fast enough to get there, but slow enough to see

Moderation seems to be the key


[Bridge]

Constantly searching, my eyes have seen some horizons

And I've crossed the oceans for more than just thrills

No, I'm not the first, won't be the last

You lust for the future but treasure the past


[Chorus]

Follow in my wake, you've not that much at stake

For I have plowed the seas, and smoothed the troubled waters

Come along, let's have some fun, the hard work has been done

We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for starters


[Refrain]

We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for starters

We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for starters
