I Was Nautical Last Night

I was nautical last night, dreams set sail,

No map in sight, just a wild sea tale,

Woke up feelin’ like I’d been at sea,

Like that whole night was reality.

First I’m driftin’ on the ocean wide,

Talkin’ to the whales about the tide,

No crew, no clue, just wind in my face,

Like I signed up for a solo race.

(Chorus)

I was nautical last night, that’s for sure,

From lakes to snakes, I endured the tour,

If dreams keep goin’ like that all night,

I might need sleep just to rest from the ride.

Then I’m paddlin’ where the jungle grows,

Amazon river where the current flows,

In a kayak feelin’ brave and free,

Till somethin’ long slid under me.

An anaconda, long and low,

Slid right beneath my keel below,

I held my breath, didn’t dare react,

Let the current pull me safely back.

(Chorus)

I was nautical last night, that’s for sure,

From lakes to snakes, I endured the tour,

If dreams keep goin’ like that all night,

I might need sleep just to rest from the ride.

Next I’m north where the Yukon runs,

Chasing cold air, under midnight suns,

Hands half frozen but I held on tight,

As I moved steady through the quiet night.

Then I sailed where the Great Lakes shine,

Caught one wave and broke space and time,

Crossed the whole thing in five minutes flat,

Now tell me how my brain explains that?

(Bridge)

My brain went wild, took me coast to coast,

No ticket booked, still traveled the most,

No life jacket, no plan, no guide,

Just dreaming and sailing every tide.

If this keeps up, I might charge a fee,

For late-night trips across every sea,

But next time please, just one small request—

No giant snakes when I’m tryin’ to rest.

(Chorus)

I was nautical last night, that’s for sure,

From lakes to snakes, I endured the tour,

If dreams keep goin’ like that all night,

I might need sleep just to rest from the ride.

I was nautical last night, that’s for sure,

From lakes to snakes, I endured the tour,

If dreams keep goin’ like that all night,

I might need sleep just to rest from the ride.
