Missed the Boat

I saved up three months of checks

Gave up cigarettes, every penny I pinched

But I was still short, needed a little bit more

Yeah, that thing out on the dock

Was enough for a rock and a honeymoon spot

In cabo for one straight week

'Cause that was her dream

I got an offer over askin'

Was about to make it happen

But I saw forever flash before my eyes

And I missed the boat

I missed the the wake

I missed the sun shining off that lake

I missed the ice cold beer with the boys

The 4 stroke making noise

I missed the bobber on the water

There's some things I can't let go

Some might say I missed out on that girl

But I missed the boat

I missed the boat

He showed up in an F-150

Two inch hitch and a cashiers check

All ready to take her away

Right hand ready to shake

Right then she called and called me crazy

Said you're gonna miss me, baby

And I couldn't sit here and watch her sail away, hey

'Cause I missed the boat

I missed the the wake

I missed the sun shining off that lake

I missed the ice cold beer with the boys

The 4 stroke making noise

I missed the bobber on the water

There's some things I can't let go

Some might say I missed out on that girl

But I missed the boat (yeah, baby)

I missed the boat

I missed the boat

I broke her heart

I'm all alone staring at these stars

Anchor down reelin' 'em in

Happier than I've ever been

I missed the bobber on the water

There's some things I can't let go

Some might say I missed out on that girl

But I missed the boat, yeah

I missed the boat

I might miss her but I missed the boat
