Lyrics

[Chorus]
Rowboat, row me to the shore
She don't wanna be my friend no more
She dug a hole in the bottom of my soul
She don't wanna be my friend no more
[Verse 1]
Pick me up
Give me some food to eat
In your truck
Going no place
I'll be home
Talking to nobody
You'll be strange
You'll be far away
[Verse 2]
Big fat moon
And my body's out of tune
With the burning waves
She's a billion years away
Dog food on the floor
And I've been like this before
She is all
And everything else is small
[Verse 3]
Pick me up
Give me some alcohol
In your truck
Playing the radio
I'll be home
With the gasoline
You'll be stoned
You'll be far away
[Instrumental]
Rowboat, row me to the shore
She don't wanna be my friend no more
She dug a hole in the bottom of my soul
She is all, and everything else is small
