Lyrics On Stealing A Sailboat - Charlie Parr

On Stealing A Sailboat

Me and my buddy Ed
We was walking down by the dock one day
We was looking at all the boats down there
«I wish I had a boat» Says Ed
I laughed, cuz he’s always broke
I said «Ed, you can’t afford to float»
Can’t afford to float
Drifting away from the shore
So we’re down near the end
You know, where all the pretty sailboats are tied
With their big masts all bobbing in the air
Ed says «I could sail one of these
You don’t even need a key»
But I didn’t think it looked quite that easy
Doesn’t look that easy, Ed
Drifting away from the shore
But Ed told me I had no experience
In the matter and he untied a boat
And he proceeded to jump inside
I followed him in but
I think it was a bad idea
Cuz now we’re drifting away from the dock
Drifting away from the shore
Drifting away from the shore
Ed cranks the levers
Pulls the tiller and yells at me to row
But I said: «Ed, there aren’t any paddles»
And someone on the dock
Is yelling at us he sounds pretty mad
And I begin to regret taking a walk with Ed
I Wish I’d stayed to home
Drifting away from the shore
Then Ed screams «Let's beat it»
And he jumps over the side
And starts swimming like a fool for the shoreline
But I can’t swim
Lord I never even learned how
I wonder if it hurts to get shot
I bet that’s gonna hurt, Ed
Drifting away from the shore
Suddenly I’m surrounded
By angry people yelling through a bullhorn
I didn’t even know the police had a boat
On the way back to the dock
I saw Ed climbing onto the rocks
And hauling ass down the sidewalk
Don’t ask me to go walking again, Ed
Drifting away from the shore
