SMOOTH SEAS DO NOT MAKE GOOD SAILORS (Cooper/Jones)
© 2025 All Rights Reserved

You complain about injustices 
So small they don’t warrant a fight 
You blame me for the things I said
Accuse me of not doing right 

You mock me for my old decisions 
Made when you were very young
Well my dear I had a vision 
Did my best to get along 

Smooth seas do not make good sailors
Without storms to make them strong 
The waves and the winds will get wayward 
Ride the tides and carry on 

You scorn me now, it’s evident
You pride yourself on knowing more
You think you can live better than
When you’re my age you can keep score 

Smooth seas do not make good sailors
Without storms to make them strong 
The waves and the winds will get wayward 
Ride the tides and carry on 

You don’t want children of your own 
That’s ok, have it your way
You think it will be easier alone
But life is gonna test you anyway

Smooth seas do not make good sailors
Without storms to make them strong 
The waves and the winds will get wayward 
Ride the tides and carry on 

Smooth seas do not make good sailors
Without storms to make them strong 
The waves and the winds will get wayward 
Ride the tides and carry on
