The Viking

Lyrics

[Intro] Well, how do you do, my name is Lars I'm from Campbell, California, you might know that by now I'm of Danish decent, for that I'm proud See, my father was a nomad, I haven't seen him for a while Lost a brother, still got a mother, I ain't motherless For some of you out there, that might be hard to believe See I've been up and I've been down, I've smiled and I've frowned I've made a every gesture that a young man can steal [Chorus] And I know that I'm married to the sea Well, I know I'm married to the sea Some people are locked down and some are free But I know I'm married to the sea [Verse 1] Well I've been rich, I've been poor, spent it all on whores Got married and divorced to the girl that's next door Stolen fast cars, dated pop stars, been around the world Slept with underage women, turned tricks for a thrill [Verse 2] Tried suicide but didn't die, well, I'm here to tell I don't know a heaven but I've made peace with hell Been shot at, been stabbed, been beaten up real bad Survived everything without being killed [Chorus] And I know that I'm married to the sea Well, I know I'm married to the sea Some people are locked down and some are free But I know I'm married to the sea [Verse 3] Slept in fancy hotels, eaten from garbage cans Down every highway, I grew into a man Seen my best friend die right before my eyes Aborted a baby and shed all my tears [Verse 4] Been strung out on pills, slammed my share of dope, yeah I drank all your booze, man, and I snorted your coke I've been loved, I've been hated, to me it's all the same Embraced by a lover, you're cursing my name [Chorus] And I know that I'm married to the sea Well, I know I'm married to the sea Some people are locked down and some are free But I know that I'm married to the sea [Chorus] And I know that I'm married to the sea Well, I know I'm married to the sea Some people are locked down and some are free But I know that I'm married to the sea [Outro] I'm married to the sea You see the great big ocean, well, that's for me Sorry ladies, I'm married to the sea I'm married to the sea I'm married to the sea But, I'm free Yeah, I'm free
