May Songwriting Challenge- Day 19: I’ll Bring the Boat

This one is based off an idea that I’ve had since the beginning of the month. I was driving to work and I passed a gentleman, checking his mailbox, with his boat loaded up and it looked like he was heading out to find a good time. In that split second I thought how awesome it would be to just buy a boat and take a day to recharge. I wrote “Redneck Regatta” down in my notebook, and have started working on it a few time, but never committed. Since I’ve been in a rut these past few days, I decided to glance at my list and just roll with one of the ideas that I’d jotted down. 

I’ll Bring the Boat

V1:

Took a long way, back road route

To work, avoiding town

Windows down, fresh air, to start the day

When I noticed a trailer parked

In front of a dairy farm

That “for sale” sign called my name

PCH:

So baby, what do you say? Why don’t you call in sick?

We’ll escape like crazy kids

CH:

Pack a cooler, and the SPF

We’ll be land locked pirates

Find a river, find a lake, kick back and float

You bring the good times, I’ll bring the boat

V2: 

Wrote that check out lightnin’ fast

Old farmer took it and laughed

“Easy on the throttle, enjoy the ride

Just like that I had bought a

Vessel built for a redneck regatta

Let’s make this pontoon our home away from life

CH:

Pack a cooler, and the SPF

We’ll be land locked pirates

Find a river, find a lake, kick back and float

You bring the good times, I’ll bring the boat

BR:

Come on girl, lets just go

We’ll rock with the ripples and the radio

CH:

Pack a cooler, and the SPF

We’ll be land locked pirates

Find a river, find a lake, kick back and float

You bring the good times, I’ll bring the boat
