Boathouse lyrics

Boathouse, coming down the river Boathouse, carrying my son Boathouse, carrying his mother You know she's the only one Caroline, my heart is aching But I can't quit this town Caroline, my heartless drinking I can't quit this town So go on, wave goodbye Haul out, packing up his suitcase Haul out, crying like the rain Haul out, screaming "this ain't living," And I know you're right Caroline, I've been wondering Why you didn't pick a better man? Caroline, my Mona Lisa still can't match your smile So go on, wave goodbye Boathouse, coming down the river Boathouse, carrying my love Boathouse, carry them to safety Up from the Mississippi mud For I lost my love
