Guy Clark - Boats to Build lyrics

rate me

It's time for a change

I'm tired of that same ol same

The same ol words the same ol lines

The same ol tricks and the same ol rhymes

Days precious days

Roll in and out like waves

I got boards to bend I got planks to nail

I got charts to make I got seas to sail

Chorus

I'm gonna build me a boat

With these two hands

It'll be a fair curve

From a noble plan

Let the chips fall where they will

Cause I've got boats to build

Sails are just like wings

The wind can make em sing

Songs of life songs of hope

Songs to keep your dreams afloat

Chorus

Shores distant shores

There's where I'm headed for

Got the stars to guide my way

Sail into the light of day

Chorus
