Boats

[Verse 1]

Ol' Joe's got a Boston whaler

He bought in Key Biscane

He swears since the day he's got her

She's been nothing but a pain

When the sun's at his back

And the winds in his face

It's just him and the wheel

He wouldn't take a million for the

Way it makes him feel

[Chorus]

Boats

Vessels of freedom

Harbors of heeling

Boats

[Verse 2]

Newport is where John hung his hat

Till he lost his wife Jo

Now forty feet of sail antique

Is where Ol' John calls home

He watched his life pass before his eyes

In the middle of a hurricane

Came out alive on the other side

That's where "the other side" got its name

[Chorus]

Boats

Vessels of freedom

Harbors of heeling

Boats

[Verse 3]

Twenty years of a landlocked job

Was all that tom could take

Sitting at his desk

All alone and depressed

Says this just can't be my fate

Went home that night and told his wife

You can tell all of your friends

It's been real but it ain't been fun

Gonna get us one of them

[Chorus]

Boats

Vessels of freedom

Harbors of heeling

Boats

[Outro]

Vessels of freedom

Boats
