Yea it's my favorite Seger song too. Not many people have heard of it. It was popular when I was on the ship and got played considerably too. LOL. After I got out I learned to play the six string and Ship of Fools was among the first songs I learned. :>} For a long time I thought a sailor would have had to have written that song. It was Segers own song.
Anybody remember “The Beer Drinking Song” by Mac Davis? Starts out like “It’s hard to be humble”. With a few word changes it applies for today LOL..
