Building a Boat

Oh I'm Building a boat to get me out of town
 So I'm cutting big tall trees down to the ground
 I'm gonna cut em up into bends
 With a couple of my friends
 We're gonna have her going so fast by the spring, yeah
 Oh I'll hand make all the sails blocks and winches
 Fasten down the hatches with big brass hinges
 And on the deck there will be teak
 and it'll never ever leak
 We're gonna have her going so fast by the spring
 I'm gonna smash a big bottle of champagne across her bow
 And I'm gonna leave you for her, babe,
 It's just a matter of time
 Mediterranean water flows across her keel
 So fast oh baby you can really feel it
 At the helm on the wheel
 She's true to the wind
 She's so? good and the sea is so faithful to me
 I'm gonna smash a big bottle of champagne across her bow
 And I'm gonna leave you for her, babe,
 It's just a matter of time
 When the wild winds wail I'll be setting my sail
 Precision and perfection second to none
 I ain't never gonna turn around
 No I ain't gonna look back
 It's my new home in the sun
 It's my ship shape, great escape
 I'll bring all my Roy Orbison tapes
 I'm gonna leave you for her babe it's just a matter of time
 I'm gonna leave you for her babe it's just a matter of time
 I'm gonna leave you for her babe it's just a matter of time
