Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Before the dawn cracks gray
I’m on the trapline, son
Boots on the wet deck
Hands on the steel and sun
The buoys bob red and white
Like apples on the tide
I mark each line by eye
Then let the cold boat glide
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull, pull, easy now
Feel that deep-down weight
Rope burns through my palms
But the sea won’t wait
[Chorus]
Great Atlantic, take me out
Great Atlantic, bring me home
Lobster in the wire
Hear the black water moan
Great Atlantic, take me out
Great Atlantic, bring me home
By the red buoy line
I ain’t ever alone (ain’t ever alone)
[Verse 2]
Mud on the mittens
Salt in the sleeve seams
A shell clicks hard on steel
Like money in a dream
We haul from the green-back chop
The cage comes up alive
One good catch, one hard prayer
Keeps this old rig alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull, pull, steady now
Read the line, read the sky
Horizon’s a razor blade
And the gulls all cry
[Chorus]
Great Atlantic, take me out
Great Atlantic, bring me home
Lobster in the wire
Hear the black water moan
Great Atlantic, take me out
Great Atlantic, bring me home
By the red buoy line
I ain’t ever alone (ain’t ever alone)
[Bridge]
When the east wind leans in
And the deck goes mean
I think of the harbor lights
And my old man’s hands on me
He said, “Keep your line tight
Don’t fight what you can’t hold”
So I sing to the breakers
And I watch that sea unfold
[Final Chorus]
Great Atlantic, take me out
Great Atlantic, bring me home
Lobster in the wire
Hear the black water moan
Great Atlantic, take me out
Great Atlantic, bring me home
By the red buoy line
I ain’t ever alone (ain’t ever alone)

Style
Sea shanty folk with driving stomp-clap rhythm and buoyant fiddle pulse; verse rides sparse acoustic guitar, hand drum, and calloused unison lines; pre-chorus opens with lifted harmonies and a rising whistle motif; chorus hits with gang vocals, foot-stomp cadence, and a rolling chant. Vocal is rugged and close, with shouted doubles on hook words, deckhand call-and-response, salt-sprayed reverb, creaking-rope risers, wave swells, and a bright, punchy mix.
