Oh I'm Building a boat to get me out of town 
So I'm cutting big tall trees down to the ground
I'm gonna cut em up into bends 
With a couple of my friends 
We're gonna have her going so fast by the spring, yeah

Oh I'll hand make all the sails blocks and winches
Fasten down the hatches with big brass hinges 
And on the deck there will be teak 
and it'll never ever leak
We're gonna have her going so fast by the spring 

I'm gonna smash a big bottle of champagne across her bow
And I'm gonna leave you for her, babe, 
It's just a matter of time 

Mediterranean water flows across her keel
So fast oh baby you can really feel it 
At the helm on the wheel 
She's true to the wind 
She's so ?good and the sea is so faithful to me 

I'm gonna smash a big bottle of champagne across her bow
And I'm gonna leave you for her, babe, 
It's just a matter of time 

When the wild winds wail I'll be setting my sail 
Precision and perfection second to none
I ain't never gonna turn around
No I ain't gonna look back
It's my new home in the sun 

It's my ship shape, great escape 
I'll bring all my Roy Orbison tapes

I'm gonna leave you for her babe it's just a matter of time
I'm gonna leave you for her babe it's just a matter of time 
I'm gonna leave you for her babe it's just a matter of time
