I traded all my guitars for a boat

Some folks think I'm strange singing to the fish
But when I sang in bars I never got my wish
No shot at the big time, no whispers in my ear
Just chicken-wings, celery, and beer... So

I traded all my guitars for a boat
But I kept one just in case my boat don't float
And if my little engine won't idle
I use my old guitar as a paddle

Catfish, bass, and crappie taste great with wine
Lemon and Old Bay with slaw is mighty fine
If you're wondering why the fish don't hesitate
I wrote a special song just for my bait... 'Cause

I traded all my guitars for a boat...

I'm glad you got a boat, but I hope you didn't really trade all your guitars for it. You're going to need at least one to accompany yourself as you sing to the fish. Oh, I see you kept one.

I love the idea and the lyric is great as far as it goes. It needs at least one more verse.

Not sure about these lines:

And if my little engine won't idle
I use my old guitar as a paddle

If the engine was idling, it wouldn't move anyway. How about something like this?

And if my little old engine just won't go
A guitar makes a pretty good paddle, don't you know.

I may or may not be an enigma

Not a whole lot, although my brother somehow makes a living selling sailboats in France and has made a few trips across the Atlantic in things I wouldn't trust to get to the other end of the bathtub. I do know that when the engine in my car is idling, I ain't movin'.
