Lyrics

Kennedy

[Verse 1]

When they say your father’s name

They’re talkin’ ‘bout a boat

They’re not talkin’ ‘bout him

'Cause they can’t trust you as far

As they can throw a grenade

How about that?

You’re gonna get saved

[Verse 2]

'Cause back then, the ship seemed sunk

I couldn’t sleep when I wasn’t drunk

I couldn’t sleep when I wasn’t drunk

But now a bad idea has cut you in two

Oh, what to do?

[Outro]

Darlin’, I just don’t know

Darlin’, I just don’t know

Some things you just let go

Some things you just let go, oh
