"I Don't Have A Boat" a Hook original for RemoteFest

[Hook]

This is the first of 2 RemoteFest tunes I did today. One of my regular gigs through the summer is every Tuesday morning at 11am in the part of Tampa known as Hyde Park 2 blocks from Tampa Bay. As I was driving to work this morning I was thinking about the view from where I park for this gig & wrote the 1st half of the lyric. I ot to work 15 minutes early and set out to put chords to it & record it, it took me 20 minutes & I improvised the 2nd half of the lyric on the spot. I eq'd, mixed & mastered this afternoon driving home.

I Don't Have A Boat

written & performed & recorded by Hook
 at the corner of S.Rome & W. Richardson

I'm just a block from the bay
And if I had a boat I could pack up my family
And we could sail out to sea
But I don't have a boat

I'm just a block from the bay
The skies are a little grey
It might not be the best day to sale and that's okay
Because I don't have a boat


I don't even have a raft or an innertube
What would happen if the waters of the bay came into my neighborhood


I'm just a block from the bay
& maybe today I'll go shopping
& maybe buy a Canoe
One big enough for the 4 of us

I'm just a block from the bay
I'm letting my imagination get away
But what if we have to escape
& I don't have a boat

Chorus

I'm just a block from the bay
Suffering from a little anxiety
Not how I can remedy
That I don't have a boat
