Gene Mitchell Life On a Boat lyrics

Verse 1
Some people say, it doesn't make sense
Moving so slowly at such great expense
Sailing's not cheap, on that I agree
The boat costs money but the wind is free

Chorus
That's life on a boat
Not a place for just ordinary folk
It's a special breed that feel the need
To live their lives afloat
That's life on a boat, when I'm bored
It's the perfect antidote
I'm living it up and never giving up
Life on a boat

Verse 2
Something's wrong, I can tell by her face
She needs some time in her quiet place
I'll stay right here and just man the wheel
'Cause I can understand the way she feels

Chorus
That's life on a boat
Not a place for just ordinary folk
It's a special breed that feel the need
To live their lives afloat
That's life on a boat, when I'm bored
It's the perfect antidote
I'm living it up and never giving up
Life on a boat

Bridge
Maybe it's just a sail for the day
Or you live aboard that tub
Once you discover the beauty of sail
You never can get enough

Verse 3
Onboard boat, it's a tiny world
But the world gets bigger with the sails unfurled
Whether on a river, a lake or the sea
You've always got water front property

Chorus
That's life on a boat
Not a place for just ordinary folk
It's a special breed that feel the need
To live their lives afloat
That's life on a boat, when I'm bored
It's the perfect antidote
I'm living it up and never giving up
Life on a boat
Tag
Living it up and never giving up
Life on a boat
