"Different Boats" lyrics
"Different Boats"
You row your boat, I'll row mine
We'll both get there in our own sweet time
In our own sweet time
Our own sweet time
Some stay in the shallow, some get in the deep
Some are slow and lazy, others up a creek
Others up a creek
You know what that means
We get what we are given and hope that it floats
Everybody's on the river just takin' different boats
He drinks liquor, she loves the Lord
Some hear the music, some jump overboard
Some jump overboard
They jump overboard
Hard storms ragin' out in the West
Some never get lucky, some might've been born blessed
Might have been born blessed
Hard to say I guess
We get what we are given and we hope that it floats
Everybody's on the river just a takin' different boats
Water is smooth, the water is rough
You hang on tight then you hang in tough
It don't matter what will be, will be and be and be
We're all headed to the same sea
You row your boat and I'll row mine
We'll both get there in our own sweet time
In our own sweet time
Our own good time
We get what are given and hope that it floats
Everybody's on the river just takin' different boats
Mmm, we get what are given and hope that it floats
Everybody's on the river just a takin' different boats
Different boats

I turn my cheek to unkind remarks

Brent Cobb - "Feet Off The Ground" They say we got our heads
Heads in the clouds
We're too high for them
Not comin' down

Feet off the ground You keep hold of my hand
We'll spin around
'Round and 'round again
