Slow down all alone, a secret mission
Small towns hold my soul, I stop and listen
Slow the boats, slow the boats, but hold the rhythm
Rivers running through my veins, each turn is different
Any place that's not the same, I stop and visit
Slow the boats, slow the boats, but hold the rhythm

Untie this rope, here comes the weather
But one day I hope
Stay forever, ever

So far away from home, so hold the rhythm
I got a place that floats, oh, hold the rhythm
Row the boat, row the boats and hold the rhythm
Hold the note, hold the notes and keep on singing

Every town is hard to leave, so come now with me
Paddle and no broken seats is all that we need
Slow the boats, slow the boats, but hold the rhythm
But hold the rhythm

Untie this rope, here comes the weather
But one day I hope
Stay forever, ever

So far away from home, so hold the rhythm
I got a place that floats, oh, hold the rhythm
Row the boat, row the boats and hold the rhythm
Hold the note, hold the notes and keep on singing

You can call me a traveler
Or you can say I'm alone
But I won't trade this for nothing
No way, no way

So far away from home, so hold the rhythm
I got a place that floats, oh, hold the rhythm
Row the boat, row the boats and hold the rhythm
Hold the note, hold the notes and keep on singing
So far away from home, so hold the rhythm
I got a place that floats, oh, hold the rhythm
Row the boat, row the boats and hold the rhythm
Hold the note, hold the notes and keep on singing
