I sailed in on the Good Intent
with all intentions clear
a man without a mystery
a vision brought me here
the ocean gave me room to roam
but the shore in calling out
so I will marry, build a home
and see what that's about
Children came by dozens then
drifting south like rain
I work the soil, I use the gun
the waves have turned to grain
I tried to love this Arkansas
with black and bleeding hands
I will not survive this life
but I'll become a man
My brother sold my mother's house
I never shed a tear
I could watch the world in smoke
there's nothing for me here
I've seen behind the darkened veil
and it's all I want to know
so I'll sail off on the Good Intent
to my true happy home
yes I'll sail off on the Good Intent
never more to roam
with all intentions clear
a man without a mystery
a vision brought me here
the ocean gave me room to roam
but the shore in calling out
so I will marry, build a home
and see what that's about
Children came by dozens then
drifting south like rain
I work the soil, I use the gun
the waves have turned to grain
I tried to love this Arkansas
with black and bleeding hands
I will not survive this life
but I'll become a man
My brother sold my mother's house
I never shed a tear
I could watch the world in smoke
there's nothing for me here
I've seen behind the darkened veil
and it's all I want to know
so I'll sail off on the Good Intent
to my true happy home
yes I'll sail off on the Good Intent
never more to roam
