Boats to Build

Jimmy Buffett & Alan Jackson



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.



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

It'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 'em sing

Songs of life, songs of hope

Songs to keep your dreams afloat.



I'm gonna 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

I've got boats to build.

Shores, distant shores

That's where I'm headed for

I got the stars to guide my way

Sail into the light of day



I'm gonna 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've got boats to build with these two hands

It'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...
