Captain Matt and The Boatcrew is a Gulf Coast Country band blending Trop Rock, Americana, and Outlaw Texas songwriting traditions. Built on the spirit of the Gulf Coast, their music captures life on the water, resilience through storms, and the freedom of chasing the horizon. Led by Captain Matt, the Boatcrew is more than a band—it’s a lifestyle and a growing community of fans living for faith, family, freedom, and fun.
Sail Away is really the beginning of Captain Matt's Journey back into music where he talks about getting away from all the stress of work and politics and just sailing away on his boat and drink margaritas and live on "island time" instead of deadlines.
Lyrics
Every dawn breaks to the same old routine,
Tasks assigned and the deadlines loom
A cycle of repetition of the workday scene
The pressure never ends in the company zoo
The boss is always on my case
Scrutinizing my every move
It's time to look for my own pathway
That leads me to that coastal moon
It's time to sail away to another place
Let's hoist the main, and feel the wind on our face
It's time to sail away leave our worries behind
Let's drink margaritas and live on island time
Turn on the TV to watch talking heads
Each side screaming political fears
Echoes of outrage as they argue their stance
Same old story every four years
Do politicians even care
Completely out of touch with the mass
So I vote for that ocean calling my name
And tell those puppets to kiss my
Hey you want another drink
I sure do
It's time to sail away to another place
Let's hoist the main, and feel the wind on our face
It's time to sail away leave our worries behind
Let's drink margaritas and live on island time
So let's relax as time goes by
And let life's stress simply cease
My only worry is when my cocktail glass
Is close to being empty
It's time to sail away to another place
Let's hoist the main, and feel the wind on our face
It's time to sail away leave our worries behind
Let's drink margaritas and live on island time
It's time to sail away leave our worries behind
Just remember to bring the tequila and the lime
