I’m gonna buy myself a boat and sail away
I’m going to lose myself with each passing day
but until I find myself I can’t be on my way
Oh I’m telling the truth so listen when I say

I’m gonna buy myself a boat and sail away
I’m gonna soak up the sun everyday
I may even find myself sailing off track
I’m sure I’ll always find my way back

I’m gonna buy myself a boat and sail away
I may even sail to your shore some day
I’ll know how to navigate by the stars
They’ll lead me to where you are

I’m gonna buy myself a boat and sail away
I’ve been saving up with a piece from my pay
I still have a ways to go before I can be on my way
Life is happening day to day

I’m going to buy myself a boat and sail away
I have to find myself some day
Lately I haven’t quite been myself
I’m not ready to be placed on a shelf

I’m gonna buy myself a boat and sail away
I know a few friends that would leave today
I know others that are on their way
Our home port will always be French Creek Bay

I’m gonna buy myself a boat and sail away
Dreams are by the dozens that you dream everyday
They’re all you have as you watch them fade away
Boats are expensive and they get higher everyday

I wish I could buy myself a boat and sail away
