Port to Port Lyrics

I'm lower than nothing

I know this is something that you've heard before

From mouths of so-called whores

Hey, at least I'm consistently bragged about

I pray you never speak like me

A sailor's never been so damn ashamed

I'd say to leave those words at sea

I know, more than most, that they're to blame

Some things don't travel well

Some things don't leave

From port to port

I know that it's nothing that I should be concerned with

So, please, give me something

Nothing seems to knock me out no more

When I'm setting course for blacking out

I pray you never speak like me

A sailor's never been so damn ashamed

I'd say to leave those words at sea

I know, more than most, that they're to blame

Some things don't travel well

Some things don't leave

From port to port

When my teeth get dirty, my mouth gets clean

I say everything I mean

I tend to start a scene

Behind the whiskey and cigarettes

Besides the truth, there ain't nothing left

I don't aim to please anyone, but me

Behind all the things I can't unsee

And all the love that I had to leave

I know I ain't been clean in between those ports

I pray you never speak like me

A sailor's never been so damn ashamed

I'd say to leave those words at sea

I know, more than most, that they're to blame

Some things don't travel well

Some things don't leave

Some things don't sink

From port to port

I've got a sailor's mouth to blame
