Nothin' Ventured |
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained |
His old time dentures pitted and coffee stained |
Drove a milk truck for an outfit called Dairy Time |
Till the cobwebs filled and clouded his mind |
Something borrowed, something blue |
Rest assured her love was always true |
They raised their Sons in a place called Tomales Bay |
Then melanoma came and took her away |
He doesn’t worry but will often pine |
TheTBiggest obstacle is passin time |
He sold his house and bought a big old wood trawler |
Now he drags the ocean to earn a square dollar |
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained |
The salty air helps to fade the pain |
A simple man with a simple wish |
Affable seas and an occasional load of fish |
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained |
Every now and then |
Yer gonna get slapped with a slab of rain |
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained |
Some die and leave their mark |
Some just a stain |
Nothin' ventured nothin' gained… |
