Boats to Build (with Alan Jackson) Songtext

von Jimmy Buffett

(Jimmy) 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

(Alan) 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

(Jimmy & Alan) I'm gonna build me a boat
With these two hands
She'll be a fair curve
From a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
'Cause I've got boats to build

(Jimmy) Sails are just like wings
The wind can make 'em sing
(Alan) Songs of life (Jimmy) songs of hope
(Alan) Songs to keep your dreams afloat

(Jimmy & Alan) I'm gonna build me a boat
With these two hands
She'll be a fair curve
From a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
'Cause I've got boats to build

(Jimmy) Shores distant shores
There's where I'm headed for
(Alan) I got the stars to guide my way
(Jimmy) Sail into the light of day

(Jimmy & Alan) I'm gonna build me a boat
With these two hands
She'll be a fair curve
From a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
'Cause I'm going build me a boat
With these two hands.
She'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
'Cause I got Boats to Build
(Alan) I got Boats to Build
(Jimmy) I got Boats to Build
