Salty Dog on the Bay

Verse 1

Silver hair

Belly laugh

He keeps the compass pointed south

Herby cracks a joke

With a twisted grin and a lucky tooth

A salty dog

Living proof

Chorus

Cap'n Herby's on the pontoon boat

Keepin' our thirsty souls afloat

Pulling the tube

Pulling the rope

Cap'n Herby's on the pontoon boat

Yeah he is

Yeah he is

Post-Chorus

Way out on the bay

Way out on the bay

Pass the ice

Pass the ice

Verse 2

Stalling

The motor skips

Ten screaming kids on a yellow raft

Herby pulls the cord

The engine roars and the water flies

He finds the spot

Where the currents cross

Look at him go

Herby knows

Herby knows

Chorus

Cap'n Herby's on the pontoon boat

Keepin' our thirsty souls afloat

Pulling the tube

Pulling the rope

Cap'n Herby's on the pontoon boat

Yeah he is

Yeah he is

Bridge

The cooler's full of gold

The rum is never old

The stories never fold

Salty mist on our skin

Where the river ends

The fun begins

Verse 3

Breeze

Salt spray

Anchored down in the shallow mud

Sun is sinking low

Herby hands me a cold glass jar

Best damn day

Living free

Happy

Wild

Chorus

Cap'n Herby's on the pontoon boat

Keepin' our thirsty souls afloat

Pulling the tube

Pulling the rope

Cap'n Herby's on the pontoon boat

Yeah he is

Yeah he is

Outro

Keep it steady Herb

Don't hit the dock

Just one more lap

One more lap

Around the island

Around the island

There he goes

There he goes

Cap'n Herby

The man

The myth

The pontoon king
