1
While out sailing on the ocean
2
While out sailing on the sea
3
I bumped into the Saviour
4
And He said pardon me
5
I said "Jesus you look tired"
6
He said "Jesus so do you,
7
Sit down son
8
'Cause I got some fat to chew"
9
Chorus:
10
Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
11
Someone to open up their ears
12
And let that trouble through
13
Now you don't have to sympathize
14
Or care what they may do
15
But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
16
Well he spoke to me of morality
17
Starvation, pain and sin
18
Matter of fact the whole dang time
19
I only got a few words in
20
But I won't squawck
21
Let 'em talk
22
Hell it's been a long long time
23
And any friend that's been turned down
24
Is bound to be a friend of mine
25
(Repeat chorus)
26
Now we sat there for an hour or two
27
Just eatin' that Gospel pie
28
When around the bend come a terrible wind
29
And lightning lit the sky
30
He said so long son I gotta run
31
Appreciate you listening to me
32
And I believe I heard him sing these words
33
As he skipped out across the sea
34
(Repeat chorus)
