The Boat Lyrics by Sammy Arriaga

2024

[Verse 1]
Son, do you got a second?
Let me pour us both a glass
We need to have a conversation
That nobody likes to have
Your brother gets the Tahoe
Your sister wants the house
Take a minute if you need it
I don't gotta know right now
I said, sure I'll make a list
But it's probably for the best
[Chorus]
You don't leave me the boat
Those fishing poles
They'll never see another wave
Just stuck on the dock
Collecting salt
Keeping your memory at bay
Won't be the same without my best friend
Smiling with me while I reel one in
Wish that you could take it when you go
Don't leave me the boat
[Verse 2]
It was never about fishing
Man, we sure caught up
About life and love and women
Couldn't figure out a single one
Hell, I'll wear your watches
Walk in your boots
All the things that I see you in
Yeah it's your favorite thing in the whole damn world
But dad, I just can't do it
[Chorus]
Don't leave me the boat
Those fishing poles
They'll never see another wave
Just stuck on the dock
Collecting salt
Keeping your memory at bay
Won't be the same without my best friend
Smiling with me while I reel one in
Wish that you could take it when you go
Don't leave me the boat
[Bridge]
My friends will hate me, call me crazy
When they hear I turned it down
You always told me that it'd make me
The coolest kid in town
[Chorus]
But don't leave me the boat
Those fishing poles
They'll never see another wave
Just stuck on the dock
Collecting salt
Keeping your memory at bay
Won't be the same without my best friend
Smiling with me while I reel one in
Wish that you could take it when you go
Don't leave me the boat
Don't leave me the boat
