Bass Boat

[00:21.99] My old man bought a big bass boat
[00:26.08] When I think of that summer of hope, I choke
[00:31.28] 'Cause even if we didn't catch a little bit of somethin'
[00:36.09] We'd park that boat by the bluff at the day's end
[00:41.71] I got a need to find trouble when things are alright
[00:47.14] I pine for pain in the morning light
[00:52.18] And even with my baby sittin' next to me
[00:57.27] I'm a self-sabotaging suicide machine
[01:03.97] And you're goin', goin', goin' 'til the lord calls you home in
[01:10.61] Your work boots and your worn coveralls
[01:15.64] And you'll show them, show them, show them
[01:19.03] With your high collateral loan on
[01:22.18] That home where your children play with dolls
[01:38.02] 'Cause I was raised by a woman who was hardly impressed
[01:43.16] And I carry that shit really deep in my chest
[01:48.19] 'Cause I ain't ever been one for cheap excuses
[01:53.54] And apologies have always been a little late or useless
[01:58.80] But if you give me four minutes and a little bit of time
[02:04.26] I'll make them old days, an old friend of mine
[02:09.17] And I can talk to God and I can pray all day
[02:14.72] But you can't heal somethin' that you never raised
[02:21.99] And you're goin', goin', goin' on Thanksgiving Day when
[02:28.27] You're sneakin' off to drink some alcohol
[02:33.89] And you'll show them, show them, show them
[02:37.41] While you're kissin' all the knees of
[02:40.41] Every scrape and every bloody fall
[02:58.42] My old man bought a big bass boat
[03:03.59] When I think of that summer of hope, I choke
[03:08.96] 'Cause even if we didn't catch a little bit of somethin'
[03:14.03] We'd park that boat by the bluff at the day's end
