I got a boat that
Fits in my hand
Sailing, Still looking
For the right man
Cnd I got a guitar
It sits on a stand
Lord, I been looking
For the right band
I got a mandolin
It's just for show
Just like the boat
That you never did row
Counting all the wants of the heart
Then I'm going to get up and start
But I don't wanna row on the ocean
With all those dreamers
I got a story
That I'm gonna tell
Put it in a novel
Gonna be a best-seller
I'm gonna find me
C mighty fine feller
Build me a boat
Then we're ready to sail
I got a mandolin
Shiny like gold
Just like the story
That you never done told
Counting all the wants of the heart
Then I'm going to get up and start
But I don't wanna row on the ocean
With all those dreamers
The strings on the mandolin are old
The neck on the Tele is bowed
Lately, the band's been looking pale
This tiny boat will never sail
Well, I hope you find you a mighty fine feller
I pray your band don't get more paler
Counting all the wants of the heart
Then I'm going to get up and start
But I don't wanna row on the ocean
I'm just dreaming
