[Intro - laughing, stomping, clapping] [Verse 1] Boots on planks and the lanterns low, Salt in the air and the whiskey flows, Saw her leaning by the harbor rail, Black dress cut like a storm set sail. Hair like midnight, eyes like sin, Smile says trouble - I’m diving in, She laughed and said, “Boy, you best beware,” I said, “Darlin’, I ain’t ever cared.” [Pre-Chorus] We don’t stay long, We don’t stay clean, Hearts get lost in between. [Chorus - Shout] [Scream] (Hey! Raise hell, raise sail!) Red lips riding on a dockside tale! Pour that rum till the sunrise wet - This is the Port of No Regret! Hey! Stomp loud, drink deep! Women don’t come here to sleep! If loving’s a sin, then place your bet - This is the Port of No Regret! [Verse 2] She danced on tables, boots kicked high, Had three poor fools just waiting to try, But she grabbed my collar, pulled me close, Said, “Sailor, you ain’t like most.” Tasted like bourbon and bad ideas, Whispered wild things in my ear, By the time that moon hit halfway high, I forgot my name, forgot my pride. [Pre-Chorus] We don’t ask why, We don’t confess, We just leave a beautiful mess. [Chorus - Full Energy] [Scream] (Hey! Raise hell, raise sail!) Red lips riding on a dockside tale! Pour that rum till the sunrise wet - This is the Port of No Regret! Hey! Stomp loud, drink deep! Women don’t come here to sleep! If loving’s a sin, then place your bet - This is the Port of No Regret! [Bridge - Half-Time, Darker Tone] She said, “Sailor, you’ll be gone by dawn.” I said, “Baby, I was gone all along.” She traced that scar across my chest, Said, “Boys like you don’t settle best.” The tide rolled in, the tide rolled out, Left her laughter ringing loud, Another port, another flame - But I’ll remember her name. [Final Chorus - Biggest, Rowdiest] [Scream] (Hey! Raise hell, raise sail!) Red lips riding on a dockside tale! Pour that rum till the sunrise wet - This is the Port of No Regret! Hey! Stomp loud, drink deep! Women don’t come here to sleep! If loving’s a sin, then place your bet - This is the Port of No Regret! [Verse 3 - Stripped Back, Sultry Swagger] Lantern smoke and her shadow close, Whiskey warmth in the way she moves, Finger hooked in my collar seam, Slow like a sailor’s wicked dream. She said, “One more song before you go.” I said, “Darlin’, you already know.” Her laugh rolled low like thunder’s hum, Soft but heavy as a loaded drum. No ring on her hand, no chain on mine, Just heat and salt and dockside wine, When the tide pulls hard and the sails reset, Some nights burn you…some nights sweat. [Outro - Fading Screams] Raise hell! Raise sail! Next port - Same tale!
