"Boats To Build" lyrics

"Boats To Build"
(feat. Alan Jackson)

[Jimmy Buffett:]
It's time for a change
I'm tired of that same old same
The same old words, the same old lines
The same old tricks and the same old rhymes

[Alan Jackson:]
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

[Jimmy Buffett:]
I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands
She'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
'Cause I got boats to build

Sails are just like wings
The wind can make 'em sing

[Alan Jackson:]
Songs of life, songs of hope
Songs to keep your dreams afloat

I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands
She'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
'Cause I've got boats to build

[Jimmy Buffett (Alan Jackson):]
Shores, distant shores
There'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
She'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
(Let the chips fall where they will)
'Cause I...

I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands
She'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
(Let the chips fall where they will)
'Cause I got boats to build

I've got boats to build
(I've got boats to build)
I've got boats to build
