[Verse 1]
I pulled up to the pondside scene
Saw a goat on the board, living out a dream
Butter on the skis, tail in the breeze
Little buck bucking like, "look at me"
I froze for a second, then I cracked up
That awkward little pose had me slapped up
I laughed so hard, had to bend at the knees
Then I spit take fast, hit the reeds
[Pre-Chorus]
He leaned real left
Then slid real slow
Like he knew the route
But he didn't know
I said, "Hold up, wait"
That sight was wild
One horn in the air
And the whole place smiled
[Chorus]
Goat on skis
Goat on skis
Butter on the wake
And I can't breathe (can't breathe)
Goat on skis
Goat on skis
So awkward, so clean
Got me spitting tea (spitting tea)
[Verse 2]
Manager by the dock tried to act all cool
But even they were laughing at the bucking fool
Tiny hooves, big swagger, weird little grace
Like a farmyard king with a splash on his face
He cut through the water, made a crooked arc
Then stared me down like, "what's so funny, Mark?"
I tried to chill, but the grin stayed wide
That goat had the whole damn crowd on his side
[Pre-Chorus]
He leaned real left
Then slid real slow
Like he knew the route
But he didn't know
I said, "Hold up, wait"
That sight was wild
One horn in the air
And the whole place smiled
[Chorus]
Goat on skis
Goat on skis
Butter on the wake
And I can't breathe (can't breathe)
Goat on skis
Goat on skis
So awkward, so clean
Got me spitting tea (spitting tea)
[Bridge]
Now every time I need a laugh
I replay that frame in my head
That stupid brave little stance
Like he was born for the edge
No shame, all slide
No fear, just glide
If you saw that goat
You'd lose your mind
[Chorus]
Goat on skis
Goat on skis
Butter on the wake
And I can't breathe (can't breathe)
Goat on skis
Goat on skis
So awkward, so clean
Got me spitting tea (spitting tea)
[Outro]
Goat on skis
Yeah, goat on skis
I saw it once
Now I can't unsee
