My Mind's a Ship That's Going Down (OurVinyl Sessions) - Katie Pruitt, OurVinyl

I guess I like my job just fine

Taking orders, pouring wine

Yet inside, I am so unsure

'Cause I long to be so much more

When I get home from work at night

I read up on the New York Times

Doze off in my computer screen

And pray it’s all a crazy dream

Through all the noise

She’s the anchor that is keeping me sound

Oh, my mind’s a ship that’s going down

I saw big tall mountains of green

On the cover of a magazine

And thought to myself with a smile

«I think I’ll go there for a while»

So I boarded a big jet plane

Left my problems in the USA

Had a lovely time in Ecuador

Now I’m right back where I was before

Through all the noise

She’s the anchor that is keeping me sound

Oh, my mind’s a ship that’s going down

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

Oh, Hollywood has stole my soul

Those city lights swallow me whole

She’s nothing like the models on the screen

No, she’s the realest thing I’ve ever seen

Through all the noise

Love’s the only thing that matters anyhow

Oh, my mind’s a ship that’s going down

Oh, my mind’s a ship that’s going down

Oh, my mind’s a ship that’s going down
