Boat Lyrics

Well, haste makes waste and fends away my wasted friends
And it don't put you on top of the world
And the very rule it bends does say that every story ends
With a good guy or a loser and a girl

I've walked out on deals
And I've rolled away on wheels
To a place no man reveals his honest tongue
But now my time has come and this injustice won't be done
On the earth the way they're doin' it in heaven

[Chorus]
Well, if you weren't so December
I would not have to be a coat
And if you were not a river
I would not be this kind of boat
And I don't feel like
And I don't feel like
And I don't feel like rowing away

When the water done comes and carries me away
I'm gonna fly over oceans
I'm gonna fly over the hills
I'm gonna fly over to the valley where Jesus lives Well, more than many times
I have committed minor crimes
Eluded straight and narrow lines for easy livin'
If I don't look like much, you call me stubborn but I won't budge
Accept me Jesus or give back what I have given

I've walked out on deals
I cannot tell you how that feels
Eluded moonlit clearings for way longer ways home
Now I'm a sinner pure and plain but for a ride on the Holy Train
I won't change 'til you see fit that I'm forgiven
Forgive me Lord

[Chorus]
If you weren't so December
I would not have to be a coat
And if you weren't such a river
I would not be this kind of boat
And I don't feel like
And I don't feel like
And I don't feel like rowing away
I don't feel like
And I don't feel like
And I don't feel like rowing away
