I got two nights away with you
Some question said "can I sit down and pour you a drink?"
Are you on the boat or off the boat?
'Cause if you wanna rock the boat, it's not gonna sink
Last call, New Orleans
I could never even notice you
Seamless tights and Levi jeans
This establishment, I frequent it myself
Where the service is special for the boys in blue
Where the men are men, and the women are too
You're secret's safe with me
Now son, believe me
I got two nights away with you
Some question answered with a hit or a miss
Are you on the boat or off the boat?
And if you wanna rock the boat, then give me a kiss
My cabin is the best onboard
I bet you could never notice this one's got a lock on the door
I'd be glad to show you around
Don't be nervous, don't be shy
Doesn't mean you're not tough, sure, you're a tough guy
You're secret, sir, you're good enough
Believe me
Whatever was I thinkin' when I married Christine?
She just wasn?t my type, if you know what I mean
She couldn?t match up, she couldn?t stand tall
I guess it?s time for me to make a ship-to-shore call
From a man I?d never met and knew I never thought I?d need
Are the armed beacons with me, I?m in the back seat
I never knew I was lonely, but I guess I got to know me
I was out to sea
Christine, Christine
I must sound rough, I must sound mean
When my tour duty?s over, and my feet are on the ground
I?m gonna spend a month or two on this town
