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 comin' to an end

And I’m finally realizin' out there on the horizon

I can see the sails of my ship comin' in

I’ve been a dreamer most all my life never gave up without a good fight

Life keeps gettin' me up and lettin' 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 knowin' lady luck would call again

They say the sun doesn’t shine on the same folks all the time…

Now the years have taken their told makin' money’s makin' 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 realizin' out there on the horizon

I can see the sails of my ship comin' in

Oh I’m finally realizin' out there on the horizon

I can see the sails of my ship comin' in
