Seven long years living on the ground Waiting for the day when my ship can float Working every day and way that I can So I can make a plan to get to distant land I’m a traveller who just can’t go Stuck in a rut that’s killing my flow I’m living in a boatyard Living in a boatyard Living in a boatyard Living in a boatyard I got all the amenities my money can buy Electricity, water, food supply The boat’s above the ground held up just above a ditch You need to climb a ladder to get into it I’m living in a boatyard You’re living in a boatyard We’re living in a boatyard Everybody living in a boatyard I got Johnny to the left and Susie to the right They watch my boat when I ain’t home at night We like to cook together and share out meals Susie’s got a hotplate and sex appeal I’m living in a boatyard You’re living in a boatyard We’re living in a boatyard Everybody living in a boatyard
