🎵 Verse 1: He set out from Texas with the sun on his back, Crossed The Gulf in a jon boat, no plan to turn back. Up the Caloosahatchee where the gators lie low, Then he kissed the Atlantic, let the east winds blow. 🎵 Chorus: 🎶 Oh Robert Youens, driftin’ free and bold, Through waters wild and stories told. From salt to fresh, at a steady pace, He’s loopin’ the map in a jon boat’s grace. 🎶 🎵 Verse 2: He waved to Lady Liberty in ol’ New York Bay, Then the Hudson pulled him north with no need to stray. Through the Erie Canal, past Detroit’s wide gate, He cruised under The Mighty Mack, leanin’ into fate. 🎵 Verse 3: Had to patch up the boat up in Arcadia town, Where small-town hearts won’t let a good man down. Then he rode past Chicago with the skyline aglow, Down the Calumet, where the big ships go. 🎵 Chorus: 🎶 Oh Robert Youens, driftin’ free and bold, Through waters wild and stories told. From salt to fresh, at a steady pace, He’s loopin’ the map in a jon boat’s grace. 🎶 🎵 Verse 4: He slipped through the Illinois, muddy and wide, Met the mighty Mississippi with a southern pride. And every mile southbound, he’s closer to the start, But the loop leaves a mark in a wanderer’s heart. 🎵 Bridge: He ain’t got a yacht, just a fishin’ man’s ride, But he's rich in the tales that ripple with pride. Each harbor a chapter, each bend a refrain, The wake of a legend in a boat with no name. 🎵 Final Chorus: 🎶 Oh Robert Youens, you wild-hearted soul, With a jon boat spirit and a stubborn goal. From The Gulf to the Lakes, every mile you chase, You're leavin’ your legacy at a jon boat pace. 🎶 🎵 Outro (spoken over soft strumming): So if you see a flat boat with a man and a plan, Just know you’ve passed a true legend of a waterway man. To Robert the skipper — still holding the line, We’re watchin’ your dot movin’ live on Garmin time.
