Jimmy Buffett Boats To Build Lyrics

Boats To Build Lyrics

It's time for a change

I'm tired of that same old same

The same old words, the same old lines

The same old tricks and the same old 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



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



Sails are just like wings

The wind can make them sing

Songs of life, songs of hope

Songs to keep your dreams afloat



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



Shores, distant shores

There's where I'm headed for

I got the stars to guide my way

To sail into the light of day



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 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, I've got boats to build

I've got boats to build
