Intrepid

Lyrics from Snippet 1 & 2

City sailors kissin' their girls goodbye

Dock of the Hudson, the rest of our lives

Comin' and goin', hopin' that you hate when I leave

Heartache's a funny way to measure how much you mean

Movin' like a mountain, the Intrepid awaits

A pissed off premonition you beat me to say

Huddle up with the widows and the wives on the street

"Baby, don't try and sell that like a privilege to me"

"It's alright," you're always tellin' me

"It's all good, either way you won't be with me"

'Cause if I stay here, I'll still be there

I'm no good anywhere

Orders comin' down like the rain on the roof

For God and for country, you're sacrificing too

Every vision distorted by the life in your face

It hurts me as it kills you

And it's alright

You swear to God in your heart

It's gonna be alright

As soon as you get home, I'm gonna leave

Oh, if I stay here, I'll still be there

I'm no good anywhere
