Biography:
Having formed the Boat Drunks exploratory committee in the winter of 2000, Jake is considered the "father" of the Boat Drunks. In the winter of 2000, while trying to form the Boat Drunks, Jake met Mike Miller, and was invited to do the lead singing and play rhythm guitar (something new!) with Southern Cross. While with Southern Cross, he opened shows for several rock legends: The Marshall Tucker Band, The Grandmothers (Frank Zappa's old band), and Kevn Kinney (former front man of Drivin' and Cryin').

[Intro]
D E A A/G#
F#m E D E A
[Verse]
D E A
I sailed my boat into Mobile harbor
D E A
Stopped by the marina to have a beer
D E A A/G#
There a table full of empty glasses
F#m E
Sat a man in a wrinkled suit
D E
And a three mile stare
[Verse]
D E A
He lit up a cigarette and waved me over
D E A
Asked me if the boat I was sailing was mine
D E A A/G#
Said that he was looking for a charter
F#m E
And all he needed was a minute
D E
Of my time
[Chorus]
D E
Said I wanna take your boat as far as it goes
A A/G#
Feel Jamaican sand between my toes
F#m E
I wanna ride on the wind
D E
Just as far as I can
D E
I won't be any trouble at all
A A/G#
I can sleep anywhere at all
F#m E D
And I don't eat very much
E A
For a hollow man
[Verse]
D E A
Said he'd ran a business in Oklahoma
D E A
Came home to find his wife all packed
D E A A/G#
She took him for everything, his cars and his home
F#m E
She even took the confidence
D E
He lacked
[Verse]
D E A
Decided to head to head down to the ocean
D E A
Cause it was something he'd never seen
D E A A/G#
Something inside him hoped the salt air and the sun
F#m E
Could wash away a life
D E
That might have been
[Chorus]
D E
Said I wanna take your boat as far as it goes
A A/G#
Feel Jamaican sand between my toes
F#m E
I wanna ride on the wind
D E
Just as far as I can
D E
I won't be any trouble at all
A A/G#
I can sleep anywhere at all
F#m E D
And I don't eat very much
E A
For a hollow man
[Verse]
D E A
Paid me $300 and he said he'd bring the rest
D E A
When he met me here on Tuesday at 5
D E A A/G#
Don't know what became of him because he never showed
F#m E
But I still can't get his words
D E
Out of my mind
[Chorus]
D E
Said I wanna take your boat as far as it goes
A A/G#
Feel Jamaican sand between my toes
F#m E
I wanna ride on the wind
D E
Just as far as I can

I won't be any trouble at all
A A/G#
I can sleep anywhere at all
F#m E D
And I don't eat very much
E A
For a hollow man
F#m E D
He said I don't eat very much
E A
For a hollow man
E A/G#
I'm a hollow man
