It was bought in ′95 by a good 'ol boy and his loving wife
Had three little mouths to feed
and fish was something we′d eat
Was luminol and it shined so bright
had big blue stripes down both sides
And a 40 horse on the back

A tracker as a matter of fact
Every now and then he'd take a spell
Go down to the lake give that old boat hell
Catching crappie under that green line

Papaw's Boat taught more lessons than most
To be patient and how to grow
Some might find it in a Bible
but when I need a little revival
That′s when I go out in Papaw′s boat

Passed it down to his older son, dad loved that thing
So much fun, I'd sit right next to him
He′d let me reel one in
Taught me everything a boy should know
"Son, hold it still and work it slow"
How I miss those times

Papaw's Boat taught more lessons than most
To be patient and how to grow
Some might find it in a Bible
but when I need a little revival
That′s when I go out in Papaw's boat

Here I sit at 27 with a son of my own
In the same old boat that I′ve always known
Sitting in the yard just like the ones before
I'll do my part

Papaw's Boat taught more lessons than most
To be patient and how to grow
Some might find it in a Bible
but when I need a little revival
That′s when I go out in Papaw′s boat
That's when I go out in Papaw′s boat
