| Song | Boats to Build |
| Artist | Jimmy Buffett |
| Album | License to Chill |
| Lyrics:Guy Clark Music:Guy Clark | |
| It's time for a change | |
| I'm tired of that same ol same | |
| The same ol words the same ol lines | |
| The same ol tricks and the same ol rhymes | |
| Days precious days | |
| Roll in and out like waves | |
| I got boards to bend I got planks to nail | |
| I got charts to make I got seas to sail | |
| I'm gonna build me a boat | |
| With these two hands | |
| It'll be a fair curve | |
| From a noble plan | |
| Let the chips fall where they will | |
| Cause I've got boats to build | |
| Sails are just like wings | |
| The wind can make em sing | |
| Songs of life songs of hope | |
| Songs to keep your dreams afloat | |
| I'm gonna build me a boat | |
| With these two hands | |
| It'll be a fair curve | |
| From a noble plan | |
| Let the chips fall where they will | |
| Cause I've got boats to build | |
| Shores distant shores | |
| There's where I'm headed for | |
| Got the stars to guide my way | |
| Sail into the light of day | |
| I'm gonna build me a boat | |
| With these two hands | |
| It'll be a fair curve | |
| From a noble plan | |
| Let the chips fall where they will | |
| Cause I've got boats to build |
