Despite all the craziness of the last two weeks I’ll still play this song at least twice a week. A true sailors song

Got out of town on a boat
Goin' to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach
Before a followin' sea.
She was makin' for the trades
On the outside,
And the downhill run
To Papeete.
Off the wind on this heading
Lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of the waterline.
Nicely making way.
In a noisy bar in Avalon
I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch I realized
Why twice you ran away.

And negative there Ghostrider.

It’s nautical gobbledygook.

Definitely my favorite CSN song.. only really discovered it in recent years, it really spoke to me when i was going thru the end of a relationship.. i like how it intertwines the nautical theme with the themes of lost love.. the Jimmy Buffet version sucks though .

Yeah, we fancy like Applebee's on a date night
Got that Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake
Get some whipped cream on the top too
Two straws, one check, girl, I got you

I want to do what this song is about before I die. I don't know shite about boats or sailing though.

Wait, you think Jimmy freaking Buffet stole something from Crosby Stills and Nash ?? Come on, that’s just….. laughable, in any context…… and im someone who used to think Jimmy Buffet was okay, even had the box set of Beaches, Ballads, Boats and whatever it was called …but he isnt in CSN’s league, musically-speaking .

Stephen Stills and Graham Nash have out of this world talent. Hands in so much back then.

i don't know if they are or not, but i know when i was in HS, they were awesome... that was many moons ago, and some of the original members have passed away, but they used to be fun to go and watch/hear

The title of the song is questionable. Southern cross could be a burning cross.
