Hog Time Music is the creative outlet of Ralph Goff. I write most of the songs and record them in my home based studio, Hog Time Studio. I'm backed up on many songs by my long time musical partner and friend, John Jett, playing banjo and resonator guitar. John is also the artist of the Hog Time Music drawing. I primarily play acoustic guitar (1969 Martin D18, Taylor 812C and 1963 Gibson Southern Jumbo), and add some fills with mandolin on some songs. In addition, most vocal work is by me. Computer generated drum and bass is also used on some songs.

Story behind the song
I was playing around with a new chord (a suspended 4) and the initial lines for the song just fell out. It's very different from the usual type of song I do, but I like the feel. It was my first shot at mixing a song with more than 2 tracks. I used the Band-in-a-Box PC program to generate the drums and bass.
Lyrics
Copyright (c) 2000 Ralph Goff www.HogTimeMusic.com SAIL AWAY ======= [Verse 1] Sail away baby, oh sail away with me Why don't you sail away, sail away with me Leave your troubles behind and let's go To return never more Oh sail away baby, yes sail away with me [Verse 2] Sail away baby, oh sail away with me Why don't you sail away, sail away with me I think that we're perfect together and I hope that you agree So sail away baby, yes sail away with me [Bridge] Well I've met many women in my life But none seem to compare to you Yes, you're the one I'm surely looking for I feel so lucky that I've found you No reason to look anymore We'll stay together, and we'll go so far [Verse 3] So sail away baby, oh sail away with me Why don't you sail away, sail away with me I'm down to my last nickel But you said you had 2 or 3 So sail away baby, yes sail away with me [Repeat] So sail away baby, yes sail away with me [Fade out with words] Sail away with me (grab some clothes and lets go honey) Sail away with me ( let's follow that setting sun) Sail away with me (you know it's gonna be such a good life) Sail away with me
