Boats To Build - Guy Clark, Verlon Thompson
It's time, time for a change
'Cause I'm tired Of the same old same
Same old words Same old lines
Same old tricks and the same old rhymes
Days precious days they roll in and out....
They roll in and out Just like waves
Got boards to bendplanks to nail
Charts to make I got seas to sail
So I'll 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 got me boats to build
Sails are just like wings
When the wind blows, ah it makes 'em sing
Songs of Life Songs of hope
Songs to keep your dreams afloat
Shores distant shores
That's a place I'll be headed for
Stars at night to guide my way
Sail into the light of day
