Biography:
Pop with a delicate, intricate, urgency. Great melodies with point in time storied lyrics make the Boatmen a long time regional favorite in the midwest. Started as a Florida band, then two bands, one in Florida and the other in Indiana, Dale Lawrence now leads the only version left from Indiana. Rumors of record re-issues abound, catch them live when you can, the full band shows rock harder than the records, acoustic outings show off the poignant lyrics.

G C G C
G
Margaret's friends come in
Margaret's friends sit down
C
I say 'hello' in French
They think I've been around
G
And we're starting to play
I'm feeling down on my luck
C
I win a couple of rounds
Don't think it means too much
G
And I'm supposed to be thinking about the rest of my life
C
I'm supposed to be thinking about the rest of my life
G
I'm looking forward to this
She says 'ready to ride'
C
With a hat on her head tilted over her eyes
D
All these steps I'm taking
Em G
Pictures of my family
C D
That's what Margaret says
G C
When she talks to me
G
Margaret shakes her head
Puts her foot down
C
Says she won't go alone not even to town
G
And then she changes her mind
Whispers right in my ear
C
Sounding very contrite
Sounding very sincere
G
I'm supposed to be thinking everything's all right
C
I'm supposed to be thinking everything's all right
G
She asked me a word I don't know right away
C
She says 'It's hard to pronounce, and easy to say'
D
All these steps I'm taking
Em G
Pictures of my family

That's what Margaret says

When she talks to me

That's what Margaret says
When she talks to me
And I tell Margaret...

Get into my car
Take the Germantown Road

WDIA, "Love Comes And Goes"

Where Collierville starts and you have to slow down

Turn the car lights off
Turn the radio on

The windows are down and we drive
And we drive
