Last Boat Home
Marty Curry & Tim Lesmeister
Verse 1:
It’s been a long day
And I’m so tired, from all these roads that I’ve been on
I’m not as young, as I was this morning
And theres an aching in my bones
I’m running hard to catch my ride
And I’ll keep going as long as I try
To make the Last Boat Home
To make the Last Boat Home
Verse 2:
Stars are out tonight
I can see the lights, of home in the distance
The midnight ship, is rocking
And carrying me out across the water
There are no storms in my heart tonight
I’m breathing easier because
I’m on the Last Boat Home
I’m on the Last Boat Home
Chorus:
Carry me across the distance
Carry me across the night
Carry me through this wild and weary life.
There are no more fears or doubts
Only the peace of loving and home
I’m free and easy.
I’m on the Last Boat home
I’m on the Last Boat home
Verse 3:
I have landed on the peaceful shores
And my ride has taken me home.
The town streets are empty and quiet
And gentle slumber is waiting for me.
This is my home and heart the gentle hearth
Where I’ve laughed and cried, where my troubles died
I’m on the Last Boat home
I’m on the Last Boat home
Chorus:
Carry me across the distance
Carry me across the night
Carry me through this long and lovely life
I have no more fears or doubts
Only the peace of loving and home
I’m free and easy.
I’m on the Last Boat Home
I’m on the Last Boat Home
I’m on the Last Boat Home
I’m on the Last Boat Home
I’m on the Last Boat Home
I’m on the Last Boat Home
I’m on the Last Boat Home
I’m on the Last Boat Home
I’m on the Last Boat Home
I’m on the Last Boat Home
Last Boat Home
