“Boats”
By: Steve Everett
Verse 1
I was rough and rugged
I was worse for wear
Took a bath in bourbon before I even got there
I needed warmth like a sailor who was lost at sea
For a couple thirsty nights that just now found the beach
Pre-Chorus
And I can’t go back out
Maybe ever but at least not now
Chorus
You said it’s OK, I hate boats anyway
And it blew me down and ripped me apart
It’s OK, I hate boats anyway
But I’d love to take a walk and just talk, just talk
Verse 2
Stealing all my sorrow, breathing all my pain
You put it on like a heavy coat
And ran out in the rain
God knows I couldn’t, I know I tried
Screaming at the sea and begging for a kinder tide
Bridge
Clean up my heart and pick a side
Cause I can’t be without you after tonight
Cause I might go back out
So I can be there when your sun goes down
