Sailboat for Sale by Toby Keith

Songfacts®:

• The legendary Jimmy Buffett features on this song, which was an idea Toby Keith's longtime collaborator Bobby Pinson, brought to the writing table. "The melody is fantastic," Keith said. "The guy swaps for the boat he's dreamed of and realizes he got swindled out of what he really wanted, which is the boat he had. I love the part about the old pirate. I put Jimmy Buffett on it and I hope it gains some legs and takes off running."

More Songfacts:

Addicted To Love Robert Palmer

The models in Robert Palmer's iconic "Addicted To Love" video were chosen in part because they couldn't play music, so they're all playing and moving to different rhythms.

End Of The Road Boyz II Men

"End Of The Road" by Boyz II Men comes off a bit thirsty, especially when we find out the girl cheated on him. The sketch show In Living Color parodied the song, with the group as "Boyz II Wimps."

Southern Man Neil Young

Neil Young later apologized for "Southern Man," calling it "accusatory and condescending" in its portrayal of the American South.

Love the Way You Lie Eminem

In 2010, the biggest-selling song in the UK was "Love the Way You Lie" by Eminem.

Brian Wilson Barenaked Ladies

Brian Wilson played Barenaked Ladies "Brian Wilson" at some of his concerts. He was "honored" by the song.

Shout The Isley Brothers

Otis Day And The Knights, the fictional band created to perform "Shout" in the movie Animal House, became a real band, performing the song at colleges and other venues.

Toby Keith, Jimmy Buffett - Sailboat for Sale Lyrics

Sailboat for Sale Lyrics

I'm floating in my boat Not the one I used to fish in But the boat I sit in wishin' I was still floating on my fishing boat And I'm out here on this river Really it's just a creek But it's a river when I drink So I'm drinking on my river boat I could sail to the ocean If the wind would come and get me But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly I'm just a drunkin' sailor Waiting on a gale With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale Aye Aye

An old pirate sold me on it We traded straight across The boat I thought I wanted For the boat I hate I'd lost She'll sing when that wind whistles When it doesn't, well she don't Just ask that old pirate That's floatin' on my river boat I could sail to the ocean If the wind would come and get me But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly I'm just a drunkin' sailor Waiting on a gale With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale Never make a handshake deal While sharing someone's bottle Never buy a boat, son That doesn't have a throttle Aye Aye I could sail to the ocean If the wind would come and get me But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly I'm just a drunkin' sailor Waiting on a gale With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale I've got a sailboat for sale Aye Aye
