I sold my soul
Then bought it back
When I told my job
Today I quit

Took all the money
That I had saved
Bought a boat
And sailed away

I sailed the world
Across the sea
A sailors life
This life for me

No looking back
With no regrets
On this life
That I now have

What do they say
Wind to your face
Sun at my back
I left that place

The way of life
That held me down
Now surf and sand
My only sound

I could not recomend
This more
I should have done
It long before

Long before
They got to me
What society says
Makes you happy

So if you've sold your soul
Take my advice
Buy it back
Without thinking twice

Take all the money
You have saved
Buy a boat
And sail away
