A white ship, a blue sky, 
A thousand miles of sea, 
The gleam of sail against the sun, 
And naught to worry me - 

A glimpse of green at sunrise, 
The bite of salty spray, 
The Gods be praised I have the urge, 
To take the open way. 

A glimpse of green at sunrise, 
Another land to know, 
New friends, new songs, new tales to tell, 
No wonder that I go - 

The joy of life is living, 
How can one live at home, 
When all the world is just ahead, 
A joyous world to roam -  So sing your songs of fireside bliss, 
In smug sincerity - 
But I! I'll take the Open Road, 
The whole world's made for me!
