[Verse 1: Jimmy Buffett]
It's time for a change
I'm tired of that same old same
The same old words, the same old lines
The same old tricks and the same old rhymes

[Verse 2: Alan Jackson]
Days, precious days
Roll in and out like waves
I got boards to bend, I got planks to nail
I got charts to make, I got seas to sail

[Chorus: Jimmy Buffett]
I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands
She'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
'Cause I got boats to build

[Verse 3: Jimmy Buffett & Alan Jackson]
Sails are just like wings
The wind can make 'em sing
Songs of life, songs of hope
Songs to keep your dreams afloat

[Chorus: Alan Jackson]
I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands
She'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
'Cause I've got boats to build
[Verse 4: Jimmy Buffett & Alan Jackson]
Shores, distant shores
There's where I'm headed for
I got the stars to guide my way
Sail into the light of day

[Chorus: Jimmy Buffett & Alan Jackson]
I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands
She'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
'Cause I...

[Chorus: Jimmy Buffett & Alan Jackson]
I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands
She'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
'Cause I got boats to build

[Outro: Jimmy Buffett & Alan Jackson]
I've got boats to build
I've got boats to build
I've got boats to build
