Lyrics My Ship's Comin' In - Mel McDaniel

My Ship's Comin' In

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
