Lyrics Boathouse - Gordon Lightfoot
I
would
rather
be
at
the
boathouse,
out
of
the
daily
grind
I'd
sooner
be
down
at
the
boathouse,
what
a
way
to
unwind
Now
I
don't
wanna
know
how
it
feels
to
be
set
back
So
I'm
leavin'
here
on
a
one-way
track
I'd
rather
be
in
mosquito
alley,
out
of
my
right
hand
lane
You
should
see
my
mosquiot
tally,
all
that
moves
is
fair
game
Now
I
don't
wanna
know
how
it
feels
not
to
be
loose
So
I'm
leavin'
here
on
the
first
caboose
So
I'm
leavin'
here
on
the
first
caboose
I
can't
sleep
by
a
gentle
ocean,
I
can't
sleep
my
a
water
fall
I
can't
sleep
by
a
lovely
river.
I
can't
sleep.
I
can't
sleep
Dee
dee
dee,
dee
dee
dee,
dee
dee
dee
dee
I
would
rather
sleep
at
the
boathouse,
what
more
can
I
say
I'd
soon
eat
down
at
the
boathouse,
let
it
carry
me
away
Now
I
don't
wanna
know
how
it
feels
to
step
aside
So
I'm
leavin'
here
on
a
wicked
ride
Or
I
could
be
back
at
the
alehouse,
with
a
flagon
or
two
A
few
blocks
south
of
the
jailhouse,
with
a
hole
in
my
shoe
Now
I
don't
wanna
know
how
it
feels
to
stop
a
truck
So
I'm
leavin'
here
and
wishin'
you
good
luck
I'm
leavin'
here
and
wishin'
you
good
luck
I
can't
sleep
by
a
gentle
ocean,
I
can't
sleep
my
a
water
fall
I
can't
sleep
by
a
lovely
river.
I
can't
sleep.
I
can't
sleep
Dee
dee
dee,
dee
dee
dee,
dee
dee
dee
dee
I'd
rather
be
in
mosquito
alley,
keepin'
spiders
in
line
I'd
sooner
be
down
at
the
boathouse,
what
a
way
to
unwind
Now
I
don't
wanna
know
how
it
feels
not
to
be
loose
So
I'm
leavin'
here
on
the
first
caboose
I'm
leavin'
here
on
the
first
caboose
Dee
dee
dee,
dee
dee
dee,
dee
dee
dee
dee
