Boathouse From the album A Painter Passing Through Capo: 2 [Intro] x2 Dee dee dee dee dee dee da dee dee dee [Verse 1] I would rather be at the boathouse out of the daily grind I’d sooner be down at the boathouse what a way to unwind [Chorus] Now I don’t wanna know how it feels to be set back So I’m leavin’ here on a one-way track [Verse 2] I’d rather be in mosquito alley out of my right hand lane You’d rather see my mosquito tally all that moves is fair game [Chorus] Now I don’t wanna know how it feels not to be loose So I’m leavin’ here on the first caboose I’m leavin’ here on the first caboose [Verse 3] I can’t sleep by a gentle ocean and I can’t sleep by a waterfall I can’t sleep by a lovely river I can’t sleep and I can’t sleep [Interlude] Dee dee dee dee dee dee da dee dee dee [Verse 4] I would rather sleep at the boathouse what more can I say I’d sooner eat down at the boathouse let it carry me away [Chorus] Now I don’t wanna know how it feels to step aside So I’m leavin’ here on a wicked ride [Verse 5] Or I could be back at the alehouse with a flagon or two A few blocks south of the jailhouse with a hole in my shoe [Chorus] Now I don’t wanna know how it feels to stop a truck So I’m leavin’ here and wishin’ you good luck I’m leavin’ here and wishin’ you good luck [Verse 6] I can’t sleep by a peaceful ocean and I can’t sleep by a waterfall I can’t sleep by a lovely river I can’t sleep and I can’t sleep [Interlude] Dee dee dee dee dee dee da dee dee dee [Verse 7] I’d rather be in mosquito alley keepin’ spiders in line I’d sooner be down at the boathouse what a way to unwind [Chorus] Now I don’t wanna know how it feels not to be loose So I’m leavin’ here on the first caboose I’m leavin’ here on the first caboose [Outro] Dee dee dee dee dee dee da dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee dee dee da dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee dee dee da dee dee dee

Cette chanson évoque un désir de simplicité et de paix loin des tracas quotidiens. Le narrateur préfère passer du temps dans un endroit tranquille, comme un petit bateau au bord de l'eau, plutôt que d'être confronté aux défis de la vie moderne. Il exprime un besoin d'évasion, préférant les plaisirs simples et naturels à la routine et aux obligations. Le contexte se situe dans une recherche de tranquillité, en contraste avec le stress ambiant. L’artiste décrit des scènes familières qui évoquent la détente, soulignant l'importance de trouver des espaces de repos et de liberté pour l'esprit, loin des soucis habituels.
