My Boat Songtext
von Tift Merritt

My boat, is being made to order
Right now, it′s at the builder, my boat
My friends, room onboard for my friends
I'm serious about this, my boat

George, Gary, Chuck and Jim, room enough for all of them
And my baby, on my boat

No one will be denied on my boat, on my boat
No getting ahead or falling behind on my boat, on my boat
Just having a real big time on my boat

And my baby, I won′t go without my baby

Stories, a place on board for stories
My own and everybody's, going on and on
Short ones, true ones, and the made up
The ones still being written on my boat


Cherries, chicken, cheese and wine, everything good my friends like
And my baby, on my boat

No one will be denied on my boat, on my boat
No getting ahead or falling behind on my boat, on my boat
Just having a real big time on my boat

Singing, eating and laughing down on my boat
You can do whatever you want, on my boat
We may go a little way down the coast on my boat
Listening to the The Rolling Stones on my boat

I've always wanted a trip like that -
But if it don′t work out with my boat, my boat
And my baby, on my boat

No one will be denied on my boat, on my boat
No getting ahead or falling behind on my boat, on my boat
Just having a real big time on my boat
