Fisherman's Son

                 
I'm doing fine in Alaska
               
I don't mind the storms
                    
Let all the wind come towards me
                    
Let the diesel engine roar
                     
And I don't know why I came here
                             
Was it because I was born this way
                          
Or have I just learned to accept it
                    
Like I do every other day

              
Oh whatever is the   cause
              
I will find another  job
                      
And Ill stay untill I'm   far away
                    
This is not what I'm here  for
                   
I was made to live in  -  doors
                                 
And I will weather out this   storm till then
                        
But I hear it scream out loud
                  
Over everything somehow
                     
Saying "Hey boy listen up
                 
You're a liar and you 
                
Are a fishermans son
                  
That is what you'll become
                   
You are a fishermans son
                     
That is what you'll become

 

Im doing fine in the city
I dont miss the stars
And I have all my needs here with me
And I don't adventure far
And Im doing ok for a young man
And Ive got a place to stay
And I dont go out come night time
No matter what my friends here say

Oh while I am here
I'll have some liquor and some beer
And I'll wait for another year to come
And I will fall into the pack
With the devil on my back
And I will take another crack at this
Oh but I can never win
No my blood is just too thin
And my eyes all they crave is reflection

Cause I am a fishermans son
That is what Ill become
I am a fishermans son
That is what I'll become
