[Verse 1: Smith]
Row, row, row your boat
These riders deep and I'c know
But right now you me honey
We just gotta row, row row
Through mud, dirt, dust and bones
Raging rivers, highs and lows
Keep your head up high and nice
On the show, show, show
[Pre-Chorus: Smith]
We gotta make some noise
Out of this real life
So I row the boat
Through swamp and tide
And if I reach the coast
But the tide goes high
I'll grab those oars again
[Chorus: Smith]
Mama, I'mma row my boat
Far from the mess that you made
Mama I'mma row no matter what
The shackles and chains 'round my waist
[Hook: Smith & Thell]
You better row
You better row
You better row
You better row
I told myself
You better row
You better row
You better row
You better row
[Verse 2: Smith]
Eenie meenie miney mo'
There's monsters behind every door
But I'm not scared, this time
I'm ready for war, war, war
Even though my hands are tied
I'mma row dead or alive
Ooh dead or alive
[Pre-Chorus: Smith]
We gotta make some noise
Out of this real life
So I row the boat
Through swamp and tide
And if I reach the coast
But the tide goes high
I'll grab those oars again
[Chorus: Smith]
Mama, I'mma row my boat
Far from the mess that you made
Mama I'mma row no matter what
The shackles and chains 'round my waist
[Hook: Smith & Thell]
You better row
You better row
You better row
You better row
I told myself
You better row
You better row
You better row
You better row
[Chorus]
Mama, I'mma row my boat
Far from the mess that you made
Mama I'mma row no matter what
The shackles and chains 'round my waist
[Hook: Smith & Thell]
You better row (You better row)
You better row
You better row
You better row
I told myself
You better row
You better row
You better row
You better row
