I've always been a fisherman at heart

Out where the air is clean and the days are long

I think of a world that saw the light but chose the dark

And through the night this hope will keep me strong

And I can hear Him say

Goodbye Salty

Oh I love you

Keep that fire in your heart burnin'

Tell others it's true

And sure as the sea is green and sky is blue

I'll come back Salty to get you

When the weather is bad

We still pull from the dock

'Cause we can't stay

If the catch is small our thoughts are low

Sunshine or rain

You know that we can't complain

'Cause when He left He said

"Set sail and go"

And l can almost hear

Goodbye Salty

Oh I love you

Keep that fire in your heart burnin'

Tell others it's true

And sure as the sea is green and sky is blue

I'll come back Salty to get you

And now we've been at sea so long

Some ask "Is He gonna come "

"Is He gonna come "

And I can almost hear

Goodbye Salty

Oh I love you

Keep that fire in your heart burnin'

Tell others it's true

And sure as the sea is green and sky is blue

I'll come back Salty to get you

And it won't be long

I'll come back Salty

To get you

Oh you are the salt of the earth

And soon I will return

I will make you fishers of men

Until I come back again

Until I come back again

I come back again

I'll come back Salty to get you
