Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down along the outer islands We were making friends With a bunch of pirate ghosts And a cat who dines on handouts From the tourists in their tactical khakis And he is living better than most [Verse 2] And if you look across You cannot see it But it's England And the other side Is the way we came On a boat where there was no one But the two of us and the captain And someone bringing over avocados From the mainland [Chorus] And it's hard, hard, hard to know which way to turn [Verse 3] Sally selling tacos came from Vegas Leaving behind her stand-up and all her friends And she is thinking of Bermuda as she folds up our burritos Waiting for a second-hand sailboat to come in [Verse 4] You and me, we write it all down in our notebooks Saying, there's a song in here, never mind the market's glutted And the road will make you crazy And the good guys all turn into racketeers [Chorus] And it's hard, hard, hard to know which way to turn Oh Yeah, oh [Verse 5] There's a lighthouse at the end of a dirt road And there's green grass growing all around And as our boat pulls away from the harbor The lighthouse watches but it doesn't make a sound [Chorus] And it's hard, hard, hard to know which way to turn Oh, ain't it hard, hard, hard to know which way to turn Ohhh
