Sitting on the Starboard Side

Folder: 
Songs

I'm sitting on this boat,

with the wind going through my hair.

As the day goes by,

without a worry or a care.



Doing doughnuts on the water,

with waves under the bow.

If there is a better life,

I can't imagine how.



Sitting on the starboard side,

riding around without a plan.

Just talking with my family,

while trying to get a tan.

I've got a drink in my hand,

and a smile on my face.

There's nowhere I'd rather be,

then in this heavenly place.



We stop to fish,

and take a cool swim.

We hang out on the beach,

and fly into the water from a rope on a limb.



Back on the boat,

with clouds moving in.

We race towards home,

because the rain is about to begin.



Sitting on the starboard side,

riding around without a plan.

Just talking with my family,

while trying to get a tan.

I've got a drink in my hand,

and a smile on my face.

There's nowhere I'd rather be,

then in this heavenly place.



The rain begins to fall,

about a mile from the shore.

This has been a wonderful day,

and I couldn't ask for more.



Sitting on the starboard side,

riding around without a plan.

Just talking with my family,

while trying to get a tan.

I've got a drink in my hand,

and a smile on my face.

There's nowhere I'd rather be,

then in this heavenly place.
