boathouse

lightfoot, gordon

i would rather be at the boathouse

out of the daily grind

i'd sooner be down at the boathouse

what a way to unwind

now i don't wanna know how it feels to be set back

so i'm leavin' here on a one-way track

i'd rather be in mosquito alley

out of my right hand lane

you should see my mosquiot tally

all that moves is fair game

now i don't wanna know how it feels not to be loose

so i'm leavin' here on the first caboose

so i'm leavin' here on the first caboose

i can't sleep by a gentle ocean

i can't sleep my a water fall

i can't sleep by a lovely river. i can't sleep. i can't sleep

dee dee dee

dee dee dee

dee dee dee dee

i would rather sleep at the boathouse

what more can i say

i'd soon eat down at the boathouse

let it carry me away

now i don't wanna know how it feels to step aside

so i'm leavin' here on a wicked ride

or i could be back at the alehouse

with a flagon or two

a few blocks south of the jailhouse

with a hole in my shoe

now i don't wanna know how it feels to stop a truck

so i'm leavin' here and wishin' you good luck

i'm leavin' here and wishin' you good luck

i can't sleep by a gentle ocean

i can't sleep my a water fall

i can't sleep by a lovely river. i can't sleep. i can't sleep

dee dee dee

dee dee dee

dee dee dee dee

i'd rather be in mosquito alley

keepin' spiders in line

i'd sooner be down at the boathouse

what a way to unwind

now i don't wanna know how it feels not to be loose

so i'm leavin' here on the first caboose

i'm leavin' here on the first caboose

dee dee dee

dee dee dee

dee dee dee dee
