"Missed The Boat" lyrics

I saved up three months of checks
Gave up cigarettes, every penny I pinched
But I was still short, needed a little bit more
That thing out on the dock
Was enough for a rock and a honeymoon spot
In cabo for one straight week
Cause that was her dream

I got an offer over askin'
Was about to make it happen
But I saw forever flash before my eyes

And I missed the boat
I missed the the wake
I missed the sun shining off that lake
I missed the ice cold beer with the boys
The 4 stroke making noise
I missed the bobber on the water
There's some things I can't let go
Some might say I missed out on that girl
But I missed the boat
I missed the boat

He showed up in an F-150
2 inch hitch and a cashiers check
Ready to take her away
Right hand ready to shake
Right then she called and called me crazy
Said you're gonna miss me, baby
And I couldn't sit here and watch her sail away

Cause I missed the boat
I missed the the wake
I missed the sun shining off that lake
I missed the ice cold beer with the boys
The 4 stroke making noise
I missed the bobber on the water
There's some things I can't let go
Some might say I missed out on that girl
But I missed the boat
I missed the boat

I missed the boat
I broke her heart
I'm all alone staring at these stars
Anchor down reelin' em in
Happier than I've ever been
I missed the bobber on the water
There's some things I can't let go
Some might say I missed out on that girl
But I missed the boat
I missed the boat
