My Ship's Comin' In

(album: I'm Countryfied - 1980)

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...

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
