My Ship's Comin' In

My Ship's Comin' In - Mel McDaniel

They say the sun doesn't shine

On the same folks all the time

I can feel the storm is coming to an end

And I'm finally realizing out there on the horizon

I can see the sails of my ship coming in

I've been a dreamer most all my life

Never gave up without a good fight

Life keeps getting me up and letting me down

I've made honky tonks and bars

Driven old and brand new cars

And a sweet young thing could always turn me around

I've seen times when I've been broke

Watch my fate go up in smoke

But I've had a taste of how it feels to win

I've been down on my luck

Bought a beer with my last buck

Just knowing lady luck would call again

They say the sun doesn't shine

On the same folks all the time

I can feel the storm is coming to an end

And I'm finally realizing out there on the horizon

I can see the sails of my ship coming in

Now the years have taken their told

Making money's making me old

But mow my ship is laden down with gold

I'm an overnight sensation twenty years of dedication

But now I need someone at night to hold me close

They say the sun doesn't shine

On the same folks all the time

I can see the face of love in the wind

And I'm finally realizing out there on the horizon

I can see the sails of my ship coming in

Oh I'm finally realizing out there on the horizon

I can see the sails of my ship coming in
