THE BOAT SONG - Hayden Coffman

Sing me a song of a lass that is gone Say, could that lass be I? Merry of soul she sailed on a dais Over the sea to Skye Billow and breeze, islands and seas Mountains of rain and sun All that was good, all that was fair All that was me is gone Sing me a song of a lass that is gone Say, could that lass be I? Merry of soul she sailed on a dais Over the sea to Skye

I've been in your shoes Up and left like you Put someone through hell It hits a little different Missing you and wishing I wasn't here by myself But you're the one that walked out, I'm the one that tried You're the one that gave up and never told me why So you can have the last word, it don't really matter Hell you can have it all As long as you take the lonely I'll take the good times You take the broken down And I'll take the getting by You take the memories Out of every frame I'll say it's my fault And I'll take all the blame You can have the house and the keys to my car You can even have the half of my broke heart You can have everything that you want And I'll take nothing with me As long as you take the lonely You can have the shirt off my back Cross on my neck You can have my boots Girl you can have the six string Hell, keep the diamond ring Yeah I don't care what you do As long as you take the lonely I'll take the good times You take the broken down And I'll take the getting by You take the memories Out of every frame I'll say it's my fault And I'll take all the blame You can have the house and the keys to my car You can even have the half of my broke heart You can have everything that you want And I'll take nothing with me As long as you take the lonely As long as you take the lonely I'll take the better without you, not thinking about you And I'll do all the moving on As long as you take the lonely I'll take the good times You take the broken down And I'll take the getting by You take the memories Out of every frame I'll say it's my fault And I'll take all the blame You can have the house and the keys to my car You can even have the half of my broke heart You can have everything that you want And I'll take nothing with me As long as you take the lonely As long as you take the lonely As long as you take the lonely

Never got love from a government man Heading downstream till the levee gives in What can I do to get the money We ain't go the money, we ain't gettin out Heading downstream till the levee gives in And my dreams are wearin' thin All I need's relief I need I need some sympathy Look at me I just can't believe What they've done to me We could never get free I just wanna be Look at me I just can't believe What they've done to me We could never get free I just wanna be I just wanna dream All of my life been wadin' in Water so deep now we got to swim Wonder will it ever end How long how long till we have a friend Comin down feelin like a battery hen Waves won't break till the tide comes in What will I do in the sunrise What will I do without my dreams Look at me I just can't believe What they've done to me We could never get free I just wanna be Look at me I just can't believe What they've done to me We could never get free I just wanna be I just wanna dream We're all together in the same boat I know you, you know me Baby, you know me We're all together in the same boat I know you, you know me Baby, you know me We're all together in the same boat I know you, you know me Baby, you know me I Just wanna dream I Just wanna dream I Just wanna dream Baby, you know me
