lyrics

There's a town
Along the shore
It's a run down mess
It's a god damn bore
And it's full of people
Who hate this town
If you asked them all
They'd love to burn it down
But it's their home
And while the old complain
about the young
They don't catch the last train outta here

And there's a man
living in this town
he's handsome smart and strong
he can't be brought down
and he tells the town
he's going out to sea
to hunt the whale
he's doing it for you and me
and so we held
a big parade
to see him go
until his boat fade

out of sight
out of heart
out of soul
god rest his soul

and as our hero sails
away from us
we'll hold this town
we'll do what we must
its an open book
