Sailboat

There is a sailboat out in a field
On a rusty trailer covered in weeds
When the banks fail
You can hike out there with me
We can't tow it to the lake
So we'll sail through the fields all day
Fishing for beet greens in the weeds
Teaching the kids to swim
Watching for smoke beyond the hills
At night, we'll put the anchor down
Paddle into shore
Swim in if it's warm and set up the tent that you painted camouflage
Under stars that haven't shone here in a hundred years
Sit by the fire talking about old times
When we didn't have time to talk about anything
And we'll sing
(La la la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la la la)
