"Boats" lyrics - KENNY CHESNEY

Ol' Joe's got a Boston whaler, he bought in Key Biscane
An' he swears since the day he's got her, she's been nothin' but a pain
When the sun's at his back and the winds in his face, it's just him and the wheel
He wouldn't take a million for the, way it makes him feel

Boats
Vessels of freedom
Harbors of healin'
Boats

Newport is where John hung his hat, till he lost his wife Jo
Now forty feet of sail antique, is where Ol' John calls home
He watched his life pass before his eyes, in the middle of a hurricane
Came out alive on the other side, that's where The Other Side got its name

Boats
Vessels of freedom
Harbors of healin'
Boats

Twenty years of a landlocked job, was all that Tom could take
Sittin' at his desk all alone and depressed, says this just can't be my fate
Went home that night and told his wife, you can tell all your friends
It's been real but it ain't been fun, gonna get us one of them

Boats
Vessels of freedom
Harbors of healin'
Boats

Vessels of freedom
Boats
