Boat Drinks Lyrics
Boat drinks. Boys in the band ordered boat drinks.
Visitors just scored on the home rink.
Everything seems to be wrong.
Lately, newspaper mentioned cheap airfare.
I've got to fly to Saint Somewhere.
I'm close to bodily harm.
Chorus
Twenty degress and the hockey games on.
Nobody cares; they are way too far gone,
screamin' "Boat drinks," somethin'
to keep them all warm.
This morning I shot six holes in my freezer.
I think I got cabin fever.
Somebody sound the alarm.
I'd like to go where the pace or life's slow.
Could you beam me somewhere, Mister Scott?
Any old place here on Earth or in space.
You pick the century and I'll pick the spot.
I know I should be leaving this climate.
I got a verse but can't rhyme it.
I gotta go where it's warm.
Boat drinks.
Waitress, I need two more boat drinks.
Then I'm headin south 'fore my dream shrinks.
I gotta where it's warm.
I gotta go where it's warm.
I gotta go where it's warm.
I gotta go where there ain't any snow,
where there ain't any blow,
'cause my fin sinks so low.
I gotta go where it's warm.
Visitors just scored on the home rink.
Everything seems to be wrong.
I've got to fly to Saint Somewhere.
I'm close to bodily harm.
Twenty degress and the hockey games on.
Nobody cares; they are way too far gone,
screamin' "Boat drinks," somethin'
to keep them all warm.
This morning I shot six holes in my freezer.
I think I got cabin fever.
Somebody sound the alarm.
I'd like to go where the pace or life's slow.
Could you beam me somewhere, Mister Scott?
Any old place here on Earth or in space.
You pick the century and I'll pick the spot.
I got a verse but can't rhyme it.
I gotta go where it's warm.
Waitress, I need two more boat drinks.
Then I'm headin south 'fore my dream shrinks.
I gotta where it's warm.
I gotta go where it's warm.
I gotta go where there ain't any snow,
where there ain't any blow,
'cause my fin sinks so low.
I gotta go where it's warm.

Considering I'm stuck in the middle of an Indiana winter, I could use a boat drink in Saint Somewhere right now...
This song hits home real hard for anyone suffering through a northern winter. Twenty degrees and the hockey game's on. Saint somewhere sounds much better indeed.
"visitors scored on the home rink everything seems to be wrong"
"twenty degrees and the hockey game's on"
ahh yes. as a resident of Hockeytown, i know that feeling. this song basically sums up the cabin fever of the many months of winter here.
"i gotta go where it's warm" as always, Jimmy just says it best :]
I recently bought the album from when he played at Fenway park.
He says what inspired the song before playing. Its basically about a cold night he spent in Boston where he stole a cab.
Yah I do beleive that the inspiration was Jimmy stumbling out of a bar in Boston seeing an taxi devoid of driver and deciding it was too cold to think and he drove it to his hotel.
I desingned a shirt for the song: http://www.zazzle.com/i_gotta_fly_to_st_somewhere_shirt-235964204646385051
awesome song
one of the few Jimmy Buffett songs that is good to listen to in the winter .. all the others about the ocean make you depressed when its freezin outside.
