Big Red Boat Songtext

with your help I'm certain not to fail

Tell me, are you still with me?
Remember, this was our great plan?
We'd build a boat, and sail away
We'd leave them all back on dry land
I'm building a big red boat,
been building a big red boat,
between my meetings and at night
I'm tired, but I stay inspired,
listening to the Beach Boys tape
you made for me when we were nine

Darling, you seem uneasy
I know this is a tad bizarre,
but out here on the plains of Nebraska,
I swear I smell the ocean, can you,
every time you look up to the stars?
I'm building a big red boat,
in my back yard building a big red boat No one can tell me what to do
Send doctors, send preachers, send lawyers,
they have their boats to build,
this boat's a boat that's built for two

I'm building a big red boat,
in my back yard building a big red boat,
with full intentions to set sail,
and one day I'll leave this all behind,
one day, before I lose my mind
Meet me when you're ready
Meet me when you've lost your head
Meet me, I'll be waiting
Meet me by the water's edge
