Story behind the song
This is about when my wife went on vacation on a sailboat in the South Pacific and I had to stay home and work. I wanted her to go and have a good time but I was worried, because as a sailor I know how things on the ocean can go way ugly really fast and I also missed her while she was away.
Lyrics
V1 In a little white boat way out on the Ocean, my sweetheart went sailin when she took a notion. All work and no play well, it gets mighty stressful. I'd be with you darlin if I was successful. But I'll be alright, I'll be a waitin at home. Its me and the dog so we won't be alone. You go on baby now and have some big fun. Just bring yourself home safe to me. chorus Home safe to me, you know I'm crazy about you. Home safe to me, you know I can't live without you. Baby you go on out and do what you want. Just bring yourself home safe to me, oh bring yourself home safe to me. V2 You know I said when you left that I'd get some things done. Without you hear baby, life just ain't no fun. You're the reason I get up. Without you I can't sleep. A way cross the world on the ocean so deep. But I'll be alright. I'll be a hangin around. No need to go out and just paint up the town. Just know that I love you and I just can't wait till you bring yourself home safe to me. chorus V3 Well I'm countin the days till you come back home. Sittin up waitin for your voice on the phone. This old house and the cars and dog and rest, they ain't worth a damn without you. You're the best. I did the dishes, the laundry and I picked up the mail. If you don't come home soon, I'll just go straight to hell. Way cross the ocean you got stories to tell when you bring yourself home safe to me. chorus repeat 2 times In a little white boat way out on the ocean. My sweetheart went sailin when she took a notion.
