Bud's Sea-Mint Boat |
He lived his life a civil service man |
Designing toilets for the space program |
He believed if we could go to the moon |
There’s nothing on earth a man can’t do |
So he ordered a ton of sand and clay |
In his front yard he built a frame |
Most folks said it’ll never float |
Still they came to see Bud’s cement boat |
A dream is anything that you want it to be |
For some it’s fame and fortune but for others concrete |
Sometimes you just gotta follow your heart |
No matter where it leads |
He gave up fishing and most of his friends |
Worked all night and every weekend |
But he didn’t mind the sacrifice |
Cause he’d build a boat that’s one of a kind |
Well the neighbors thought it was a real eyesore |
They’d say hey Bud what are ya building that for |
And knowing they would never understand |
He’d just smile and say because I can |
Well he got laid off in seventy-four |
And they don’t go to the moon anymore |
But down around the Alabama coast |
She still floats Bud’s Sea-Mint boat |
