Bud's Sea-Mint Boat

He lived his life
 A civil service man
 Designing toilets
 For the space program
 He believed
 If we could go to the moon
 There's nothing on Earth
 A man can't do
 So he ordered a ton
 Of sand and clay
 In his front yard
 He built a frame
 Most folks said
 It'll never float
 Still they came to see
 Bud's cement boat
 A dream is anything
 That you want it to be
 For some
 It's fame and fortune
 But for others concrete
 Sometimes you just
 Gotta follow your heart
 No matter where it leads
 He gave up fishing
 And most of his friends
 Worked all night
 And every weekend
 But he didn't mind
 The sacrifice
 Cause he'd build a boat
 That's one of a kind
 Well the neighbors thought
 It was a real eyesore
 They'd say hey Bud
 What are ya
 Building that for
 And knowing they would
 Never understand
 He'd just smile
 And say because I can
 Well he got laid off
 In seventy-four
 And they don't go
 To the moon anymore
 But down around
 The Alabama coast
 She still floats
 Bud's Sea-Mint boat
