Buffett, Jimmy - Boats To Build Lyrics
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
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
Cause I've got boats to build
Shores distant shores
There's where I'm headed for
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

Buffett, Jimmy Boats To Build Comments
I'm a big Jimmy fan but leave this one to Guy.
Sails are just like wings...awesome line, and what follows makes for a great simple song!
Good song guys. R I p Guy.
Have loved Jimmy since first vinyls released and have all vinyl LPs, still watch live shows via podcasts. Guy Clark one of the true songwriting greats, but fairly I don't thinks his voice match songwriting talents and Alan Jackson's voice is a little better than Jimmy's.
This is good, but I don't understand how anyone can believe that it's better than Guy Clark's original version, and I am a huge Buffett fan.
Love this song and this is the best rendition. Jimmy & Alan -- doesn't get much better than that!
boats to build songs
A song when sung by the writer is as true as the music can be. A cover is just someone else interpreting the original. While someone can prefer one or the other, the fact is the original interpretation is the purest version of the creation.
Fuck you Dennis
Hey Jimmy, I guess you've probably heard by now... that Guy Clark has passed away. Such a brilliant composer that man. Glad we still have you on deck!
Alan Jac? Jackson?
great clip keep them coming
Alan. Jackson
I like this version of this song better than Guy Clarks. His is good too, I think it's the background music that makes this version a smoother version. Plus, I like Alan 's voice. Mr Buffet.... Not so much. But together, they sound really smooth. Jim, your getting older. Time to come back to church. Start thinking like maybe those nuns, were trying to tell you something. You can't blame them now. Trouble with the kids of the 60s, is that you left the church, and never really figured out what it was all about. .
D Jablonski Jimmy Buffett has a great voice, get over yourself
Great rendition of a great song.
miss the keys with roger
Rogers been sucking my dick for eight months fuck you Bernice
Beautiful song.
My husband fell in love with every boat he built.
jeanette Voisin and hopefully, with you every day.
Beautiful song, still nice smile.
nice, but rather hear it by guy clark and verlon thompson
Beautiful song, beautiful voice and still smile
Beautiful song
i disagree the jimmy buffet version is better guy clarks is to slow and his voice is bad
Dan, so you work for Jimmy Buffet, I get it, or your tone deaf and since Guy wrote this beautiful song, how can you say it is too slow, it is his song? Buffet is just tagging along for a free ride.
The original, by Guy Clark, is much better. It's far more real. While I appreciate that JB and AJ tribute the song by covering it, when you listen to Guy Clark's version, you can really feel the meaning of the song.
Beautiful song...great call to action.
1 person has never fallen in love with a boat...
Great song written by Guy Clark~~~ You should hear by Guy Clark, he puts his soul into it~~~
my life
