An Evinrude motor cuttin' through the water like a butter knife through a cake
A sunbeam dippin' its toes in the cold muddy bottom of a clear blue lake
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I left my worries with all my hurries sittin' on the dock of the bay
I feel my spirit liftin as I'm driftin' away
You can find me lost somewhere off the coast
Makin' the most of the time I got
Keepin' it between the waves keeps me from goin' crazy
When your sinkin' in the deep end
And your runnin' but your runnin' out of road
That's why god made boats
Its two red cans of gas and a day and a half from the Florida keys
If you don't think I'll pull up anchorman you don't know me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
And the day I die you can say goodbye with different kind wake
'Til I feel my spirit liftin as I'm driftin' away
You can find me lost somewhere off the coast
Make the most of the time I got
Keepin' it between the waves keeps me from goin' crazy
When your sinkin' in the deep end and your runnin' but your runnin' out of road
You keep runnin' out of road
That's why god made boats
An Evinrude motor cuttin' through the water like a butter knife through a cake
A sunbeam dippin' its toes in the cold muddy bottom of a clear blue lake
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
