Lyle Lovett and his Large Band - If I had a boat

[OGEECHEEMAN]

The first time I heard it was in a little pub in Hilton Head SC years ago.A friend opened the show and got us backstage after Lyle.He was all by himself,leaning against a wall,hair piled high in his white Nudie suit.I walked over,introduced myself and said,'you have no idea how big you are going to be he said "that's mighty nice of you, you really think so"? I said,count on it.I'll bet,having not seen him since, if I bumped into him tomorrow he would remember that encounter.

I first heard this song in early 1991 while visiting Greune, Texas, just north of San Antonio. It was the first Lyle Lovett song I had ever heard. I've been hooked ever since.

Why would you put your pony on your boat? :P

This was recorded for German TV in 1992.

I had the privilege of meeting Lyle Lovett in Denver. I could barely speak. He was super nice!

and if I had a boat , I'd sail across the ocean and I'd make you happy, 'cause here I can not be.
