Kenny Chesney - Boats lyrics

rate me

Old Joe's got a Boston whaler

He bought to keep his gain

And he swears since the day he got her

She's been nothing but a pain.

When the sun's at his back

And the wind's in his face

Just him and the wheel

He wouldn't take a million for the way it makes him feel.

Boats

Vessels of freedom

Harbors of healin'

Boats.

Newport is where John hung his hat

Til he lost his wife Joan

Now 40 feet of Sail Antique

Is where ol' John calls home.

He watched his life pass before his life

In the middle of a hurricane

Came out alive on the other side

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

Boats

Vessels of freedom

Harbors of healin'

Boats.

20 years of a landlocked job

Was all that Tom could take

Sittin' at his desk alone and depressed

Says this just can't be my fate.

Went home that night and told his wife

You can tell all your friends

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

Gonna get us one of them.

Boats

Vessels of freedom

Harbors of healin'

Boats.

Boats

Vessels of freedom

Boats...
