Ol' Joe's got a Boston Whaler

He bought in Key Biscayne

And he swears since the day he's got her

She's been nothin' but a pain

When the sun's at his back

And the wind's in his face

It's just him and the wheel

He wouldn't take a million

For the way it makes him feel

Boats

Vessels of freedom

Harbors of healin'

Boats

Newport is where John hung his hat

Till he lost his wife, Joan

Now forty feet of sail, antique

Is where Ol' John calls home

He watched his life pass before his eyes

In the middle of a hurricane

Came out alive on the other side

That's where The Other Side got it's name

Boats

Vessels of freedom

Harbors of healin'

Twenty years of a landlocked job

Was all that Tom could take

Sittin' at his desk, alone and depressed

Says, "This just can't be my fate"

Went home that night and told his wife

You can tell all your friends

It's been real, but it ain't been fun

Gonna get us one of them

Boats

Vessels of freedom

Harbors of healin'

Boats
