Boat Of Car Lyrics
Daddy'll sing bass
Daddy'll sing bass
Daddy'll sing bass
Daddy'll sing bass
I took my boat for a car
I took that car for a ride
I was trying to get somewhere
But now I'm following the traces of your fingernails
That run along the windshield on the boat of car
Daddy'll sing bass
Traces of your fingernails that run along the windshield
On the boat of car
On the boat of car
On the boat of car
On the boat of car
Daddy'll sing bass
Daddy'll sing bass
Daddy'll sing bass
I took that car for a ride
I was trying to get somewhere
But now I'm following the traces of your fingernails
That run along the windshield on the boat of car
On the boat of car
On the boat of car
On the boat of car
On the boat of car

This song is about Chappaquiddick. Ted Kennedy was "trying to get somewhere" (the Presidency) but now he's haunted by the scandal. The traces of fingernails come from the drowning woman clawing at the windshield.
"Daddy sang bass" is kind of a sample from a Johnny Cash song.
i have always wondered what this song meant... tucker, your interpretation is totally creepy, but makes sense!
