’For A Boat’ is my favorite song from Mr. Bryans ’Born Here Live Here Die Here’ album. This is also my first tab so any suggestions or edits are welcome! Have fun! [Verse 1] Everything I learned about life I learned out on that bank From gettin’ up early comin’ up empty And good things come to those that wait Money doesn’t grow on trees The difference in talking and shootin’ the breeze [Chorus] I remember thinkin’ wouldn’t it be cool To have an old flat bottom and an Evinrude? And Daddy saying "Son don’t they bite just fine right here?" He’d say "Love what you got buddy not what you ain’t" And just about then that bobber would sink And that outboard dream of mine would disappear I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes Too broke for a boat [Verse 2] He could’ve picked up an extra shift Or a weekend at the factory But every Sunday was saved for Jesus And Saturdays he spent with me ’Til that summer would fall I didn’t know we had it all [Chorus] I remember thinkin’ wouldn’t it be cool To have an old flat bottom and an Evinrude? And Daddy saying "Son don’t they bite just fine right here?" He’d say "Love what you got buddy not what you ain’t" And just about then that bobber would sink And that outboard dream of mine would disappear I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes Too broke for a boat Too broke for a boat [Chorus] I remember thinkin’ wouldn’t it be cool To have an old flat bottom and an Evinrude? And Daddy saying "Son don’t they bite just fine right here?" He’d say "Love what you got buddy not what you ain’t" And just about then that bobber would sink And that outboard dream of mine would disappear I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes Too broke for a boat Too broke for a boat

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les leçons de vie apprises au bord d'une rivière, transmettant des valeurs telles que la patience et l'appréciation de ce que l'on a. Le narrateur se remémore des moments passés avec son père, qui lui enseignait à aimer ce qu'il possède plutôt qu'à se concentrer sur ce qui lui manque. L'idée de posséder un bateau est un symbole de rêve inaccessibile : bien qu'il ait connu des moments privilégiés, il se rend compte qu'il n'a jamais eu les moyens de réaliser ce rêve. Cela se déroule dans un cadre familial et convivial, où chaque dimanche était consacré à la foi et les samedis passés ensemble à pêcher. Cela montre une belle complicité entre le père et le fils, bien que le manque de ressources financières ait marqué leur quotidien.
