Lyrics

I would rather be at the boathouse
Out of the daily grind
I'd sooner be down at the boathouse
What a way to unwind
And I don't wanna know how it feels to be set back
So I'm leavin' here on a one way track
I'd rather be in mosquito valley
Out of my right hand lane
You oughta see my mosquito tally
All that moves is fair game
And I don't wanna know how it feels not to be loose
So I'm leavin' here on the first caboose
I'm leavin' here on the first caboose
I can't sleep by a gentle ocean
I can't sleep by a waterfall
I can't sleep by a lovely river
I can't sleep, I can't sleep
I would rather sleep at the boathouse
What more can I say?
I'd sooner eat down at the boathouse
Let it carry me away
And I don't wanna know how it feels to step aside
So I'm leavin' here on a wicked ride
Or I could be back at the alehouse
Mm, with a flagon or two
A few blocks south of the jailhouse
With a hole in my shoe
And I don't wanna know how it feels to start a truck
So I'm leavin' here and wishin' you good luck
I'm leavin' here and wishin' you good luck
I can't sleep by a peaceful ocean
I can't sleep by a waterfall
I can't sleep by a lovely river
I can't sleep, I can't sleep
I'd rather be in mosquito valley
Keepin' spiders in line
I'd sooner be down at the boathouse
What a way to unwind
And I don't wanna know how it feels not to be loose
So I'm leavin' here on the first caboose
I'm leavin' here on the first caboose
