I'm building myself a boat

it's gonna sail across the globe

until I find what I want

I'm building myself a boat

it's gonna sail across these seas

until I find what I need

I'm building myself a boat

And you can surely come along

Well I might settle down

in your lonesome town

I know here I can stay
