PHJim Lyr Req: Garage Sailing (4) Lyr Req: Garage Sailing 27 Mar 21


I'm looking for a song that I heard on a folk show about 20 years ago. I recall the tune and the chorus, but only a bit of the verses.
I'd also like to know the composer.
These may not be word-for word:

Garage Sailing

Some folks I know spend their Saturdays
Sittin' at home watchin' football games
Others head over to Mom's for a home cooked meal.
I like to get out the classifieds
Gas up the car for a nice long ride
And just cruise around lookin' for a deal

I go sailing, sailing, garage sailing,
I keep my eyes on the side of the road
For the cardboard signs on the telephone poles
I keep sailing on.

I've bought knickknacks, brick-a-brack
I even once bought a Cadillac.
It didn't run, but I painted it baby-blue
(It looked so good on the lawn you know)

These lines are contained in the song:

Other people's throw aways fills my home.

I may have to find a place of my own.
