(Sail away/with me 4xs)

Vs 1
It’s just another wonderful day
With you here  by my side
(Baby)

No way for blues to ever begin
When you’re with me 
It’s such a sweet ride
(Yeah)

At the dock there’s a dope little boat
That we don’t need a pass to board it
(No, no, no)

A great adventure for lovers like us
So, come on, hold tight, let’s go for it
(C-Come on, come on, baby) 

CHORUS 
Come sail with me 
To a place you’ve never known before
Sail fast and free
On a wave of love until we reach the shore

Post Chorus
(Sail with me 4xs)
 (Sail away/with me 4 times

Vs.2
The greatest love stories ever told
Started with a chance meeting  
(A rendezvous)

You and me, are an epic tale
Written by our two hearts beating
IBuh-bump, buh-bump)

Pre-chorus 2 
Don’t need a guide, map or GPS
To show where this boat’s goin’
(No, No, No)

I drift way when I look in your eyes
 I know it’s love that’s showin’
(C-Come on, come on, baby)

SAIL WITH ME- Doug Gazlay

Rockin' song about being black-labeled for being a "rocker".

DIRTY ROCKER 
(Doug Gazlay f/Jennifer Ferren)

Jammin’ on the guitar in my mama’s garage

Neighbors all hate me, cause it’s phat and large

Rock’n’roll guitar’s gonna’ blow ‘em away

I’m shreddin’ this guitar ‘til the judgement day

Pre-chorus 1
Playin’ nasty songs that my daddy don’t like

momma’s poundin’ on the door, a little uptight

(She says)


CHORUS:
I won’t get to heaven rockin’ this way

I got ‘em dirty dancin’ with songs that I play

angels bang their heads, when I sing like Joe Cocker

Heaven can wait!  ‘cause right now, I’m just a dirty rocker


Vs 2
I remember church when the choir sang

Grabbed my guitar and started to bang, bang

Felt the rockin’ spirit and got lost in a riff

That’s when it went all to hell and I fell off the cliff

Pre-chorus 2
Congregation stared in total shock and dread

Preacher grabbed the good book, glared at me and said

CHORUS

BREAK
DIrty rocker break
Heaven can wait  ....

Pre-chorus 3
My sister got her groove on, and my brother claps along

Even mama taps her toe to my rock’n’roll song!
