My Boat, My Whiskey, and Me

from Stuck In A Groove by Frank D. Hill

lyrics

Gonna find me a bottle of whiskey,
set down alongside a mountain stream,
tip that bottle til I can't see
the difference between you and me.

Gonna steal me a boat without anchor,
set out across the shining sea,
see what we can discover -
my boat, my whiskey, and me.

(CHORUS)
And when I'm out on my own,
no one ever needs to know
where I'm gone or where I come from,
where I been or where I'm bound.

Left my home in Kentucky
when I's just 16 years old.
Mama'd died and Dad'd gone crazy
leaving me to make it on my own.

Drifted west to Kansas City
where I thought I might stay;
urban skyline sure looks pretty
at the end of a hard traveling day.

CHORUS

Lost my love in Nebraska
along some old forgotten road.
Never did get to ask her
if she'd take me to have and to hold.

Now I'm drifting west through the rockies,
headed out Frisco way.
Hoping that I find peace
sitting on the dock of the bay.

CHORUS

Gonna find me a bottle of whiskey,
set down alongside a mountain stream,
tip that bottle til I can't see
the difference between you and me.

Gonna steal me a boat without anchor,
set out across the shining sea,
see what we can discover -
my boat, my whiskey, and me.
