My Boat - Tift Merritt

My boat, is being made to order

Right now, it’s at the builder, my boat

My friends, room onboard for my friends

I’m serious about this, my boat

George, Gary, Chuck and Jim, room enough for all of them

And my baby, I won’t go without my baby

Stories, a place on board for stories

My own and everybody’s, going on and on

Short ones, true ones, and the made up

The ones still being written on my boat

Cherries, chicken, cheese and wine, everything good my friends like

And my baby, on my boat

No one will be denied on my boat, on my boat

No getting ahead or falling behind on my boat, on my boat

Just having a real big time on my boat

Singing, eating and laughing down on my boat

You can do whatever you want, on my boat

We may go a little way down the coast on my boat

Listening to the The Rolling Stones on my boat

I’ve always wanted a trip like that —

But if it don’t work out with my boat, my boat

No one will be denied on my boat, on my boat

No getting ahead or falling behind on my boat, on my boat

Just having a real big time on my boat on my boat

No one will be denied on my boat, on my boat, on my boat
