Boats To Build (Live) Lyrics

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.

--- Instrumnental ---

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...
