Lyrics Ricky Skaggs

Ricky Skaggs

Rockin' the Boat

Always signed on to go on lifelong loving cruise

We set sail on a sea of love as an able bodied crew

With warm wind across the bow happiness did prevail

Three months out of port we were headed for an icy gale

First mate of mine well I see you fine

At the mop and broom a chore

Well lesson two is lost on you

It takes two to man the oars

And sorry ain't your cup of tea

The words stick in your throat

Well I still believe your a fine girl

But I swear your a rotten boat

Are you rockin' the boat honey

Just to get my goat

Well you can't keep love afloat

When you're rockin' that boat

You know before we left the shore

We saw things eye to eye

Now every time I reach for you

You're emotions wave bye-bye

And you know when a man jumps overboard

That man he's gone astray

You know you that I feel like bailin' out

When you keep my love at bay

Are you rockin' the boat honey

Just to get my goat

Well you can't keep love afloat

When you're rockin' that boat
