Sydney's Rafting Song

Syndey is a big fan of, famed country music singer, Garth Brooks.
She has told me on numerous occasions that the song "Rodeo" is her rafting song, so I wrote a rafting version just for her. Here it is it's called "Floatn' Boats"






His arms are cold and restless
His burns have almost healed
And she’d give half of Sevier
Just to change the way he feels
She knows his love’s in Utah
And she knows he’s gonna go
Well it ain’t no woman flesh and blood
It’s that damned old floatn’ boats

(Chorus)

Well it’s waves and bugs
It’s DEET and mud
It’s the roar of the rapid sound
It’s the white of his butt cheeks
The smell of the good eats
He’ll flip and Cash will drown
It’s pads and straps
It’s Hooters hats
It’s shorts and mosquitoes
It’s the oars and the frame
And the joy and the pain
And they call the thing floatn’ boats

She does her best to scold him
When his love comes to call
But his need for it controls him
And her butt can’t swim at all
And it’s so long babe I’ll see you
When it’s time for him to go
You know the woman wants her rafter
Like he wants his rowing boats

- Chorus -

It’ll drive his Sydney crazy
It’ll drive his mom insane
And he’ll pack up everything he needs
Just to put it all away
And a muddy raft and some muddy pants
Is all he’ll have to show
For all the days that he spent chasin’
This dream they call floatn’ boats

- Chorus -

It’s the rocks and the bugs
It’s the holes and the mud
And they call the thing floatn’ boats
