HAYES CARLL
"Different Boats"
(Hayes Carll / Adam Landry / Allison Moorer)

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

[Chorus:]
We get what we are given and hope that it floats
Everybody's on the river just taking different boats

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

Hard storm's raging, out in the West
Some never get lucky, some mighta been born blessed
Might have been born blessed
Hard to say, I guess

[Chorus:]
We get what we are given and we hope that it floats
Everybody's on the river just taking different boats

[Bridge:]
Water is smooth, 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

[Instrumental break]

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

[Chorus:]
We get what we are given and we hope that it floats
Everybody's on the river just taking different boats
We get what we are given and we hope that it floats
Everybody's on the river just taking different boats

[Outro:]
Mmm
Different boats
