Chris Janson - Buy Me A Boat Lyrics


Chris Janson Lyrics

Buy Me A Boat Lyrics
I ain't rich, but I damn sure wanna be
Working like a dog all day, ain't working for me
I wish I had a rich uncle that'd kick the bucket
And I was sitting on a pile like Warren Buffett
I know everybody says
Money can't buy happiness

But it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it
It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets
Yeah, and I know what they say,
Money can't buy everything
Well, maybe so,
But it could buy me a boat

They call me redneck, white trash and blue collar
But I could change all that if I had a couple million dollars
I keep hearing that money is the root of all evil
And you can't fit a camel through the eye of a needle
I'm sure that's probably true,
But it still sounds pretty cool

'Cause it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it
It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets
Yeah, and I know what they say,
Money can't buy everything
Well, maybe so,
But it could buy me a boat

To float down on the water with a beer...
I hear the Powerball Lotto is a-sitting' on a hundred mill...
Well, that would buy me a brand new rod and reel...

And it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it
It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some Silver Bullets
Yeah, and I know what they say,
Money can't buy everything
Well, maybe so,
But it could buy me a boat

Yeah, and I know what they say,
Money can't buy everything
Well, maybe so,
But it could buy me a boat
It could buy me a boat.

Buy Me A Boat Info:

• Chris Janson explained:
"We wanted to write a lifestyle piece that not only us but other people can identify with. We tried to write it to America and people who live normal lifestyles. I am that guy."

• Chris doesn't actually own a boat, he admitted:
"I don't sail, I wouldn't know the first thing about a boat except how to get on it and how to not wreck. I never even thought about buying one, I'm just hoping somewhere along the line one will just appear in my life."
