[Verse]
I'm leavin' in the mornin' on a riverboat
I told 'em I'd come back and drive a barge in tow
My husband's runnin' food to the VIP
We been workin' here for three years
Livin' out a dream

[Chorus]
Steamboat livin'
Workin' on a river
Sometimes you're the pilot
And sometimes you cook the dinner
Lendin' out a hand for strangers turnin' into friends
Livin' out a dream
Oh
I hope it never ends

[Verse]
We're not quite like the rest
But it's all right
Got some runnin' around and some workin' to do tonight
I'm the last one to leave and the first one up
Oh
We all work hard and we all raise hell
It's never enough

[Chorus]
Steamboat livin'
Workin' on a river
Sometimes you're the pilot
And sometimes you cook the dinner
Lendin' out a hand for strangers turnin' into friends
Livin' out a dream
Oh
I hope it never ends

[Bridge]
I'm not worried
I'm not scared
If you're tired
Go to bed
I'm not worried
I'm not scared
If you're tired
Go to bed

[Chorus]
Steamboat livin'
Workin' on a river
Sometimes you're the pilot
And sometimes you cook the dinner
Lendin' out a hand for strangers turnin' into friends
Livin' out a dream
Oh
I hope it never ends
