Hayes Carll - Different Boats lyrics

[Hayes Carll - Different Boats lyrics]

You row your boat, I'll row mine
We'll both get there in our own sweet time
In our own sweet time
Our own sweet time

Some stay in the shallow, some get in the deep
Some are slow and lazy, others up a creek
Others up a creek
You know what that means

We get what we are given and hope that it floats
Everybody's on the river just takin' different boats

He drinks liquor, she loves the Lord
Some hear the music, some jump overboard
Some jump overboard
They jump overboard

Hard storms ragin' out in the West
Some never get lucky, some might've been born blessed
Might have been born blessed
Hard to say I guess

We get what we are given and we hope that it floats
Everybody's on the river just a takin' different boats

Water is smooth, the water is rough
You hang on tight then you hang in tough
It don't matter what will be, will be and be and be
We're all headed to the same sea

You row your boat and I'll row mine
We'll both get there in our own sweet time
In our own sweet time
Our own good time

We get what are given and hope that it floats
Everybody's on the river just takin' different boats

Mmm, we get what are given and hope that it floats
Everybody's on the river just a takin' different boats
Different boats
