Derek Jones - Pokin' Holes Lyrics

Runnin' wild chasin' that dream
And you were the Coke to my Jim Beam
Yeah, we had it all
Had the world by the tail
And I was the hammer
And baby you were the nail
I've been doing the same thing for years and years
Letting you ride along
Hell, I even let you steer
I always wondered why my ship, it don't float
It's 'cause you're back there Pokin' Holes in my boat
Well did you really think that you could drive
Get out of my way, you've had your try
And it took awhile, but I opened my eyes
I had to do what I did before I capsized
I've been doing the same thing for years and years
Letting you ride along
Hell, I even let you steer
I always wondered why my ship, it don't float
It's 'cause you're back there Pokin' Holes in my boat
I'm the captain of this ship I won't let it sink
You're the anchor in the chain, so I'll cut the link
Cause this water in my boat's up to the brim
It's time for you to get out of my boat
I hope you can swim
I've been doing the same thing for years and years
Letting you ride along
Hell, I even let you steer
I always wondered why my ship, it don't float
It's 'cause you're back there Pokin' Holes in my boat
Now here we are
We've gone our separate ways
And you're still stuck in your glory days
And I'm better off to be out on my own
I'm flying by you in a no wake zone

Runnin' wild chasin' that dream
And you were the Coke to my Jim Beam
Yeah, we had it all
Had the world by the tail
And I was the hammer
And baby you were the nail
I've been doing the same thing for years and years
Letting you ride along
Hell, I even let you steer
I always wondered why my ship, it don't float
It's 'cause you're back there Pokin' Holes in my boat
Well did you really think that you could drive
Get out of my way, you've had your try
And it took awhile, but I opened my eyes
I had to do what I did before I capsized
I've been doing the same thing for years and years
Letting you ride along
Hell, I even let you steer
I always wondered why my ship, it don't float
It's 'cause you're back there Pokin' Holes in my boat
I'm the captain of this ship I won't let it sink
You're the anchor in the chain, so I'll cut the link
Cause this water in my boat's up to the brim
It's time for you to get out of my boat
I hope you can swim
I've been doing the same thing for years and years
Letting you ride along
Hell, I even let you steer
I always wondered why my ship, it don't float
It's 'cause you're back there Pokin' Holes in my boat
Now here we are
We've gone our separate ways
And you're still stuck in your glory days
And I'm better off to be out on my own
I'm flying by you in a no wake zone
