Different Boats

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 raging 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 hope that it floats

Everybody’s on the river, just takin’ different boats

Water is smooth, water is rough

You hang on tight then you hang in tough

It don’t matter what 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

In our own good time

We get what are given and hope that it floats

Everybody’s on the river, just takin’ different boats
