Missed the Boat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She wants a man on Sunday mornin' To get up and take her to church She wants a man comes home at night His mind ain't back at work She wants somebody to listen When her world starts closin' in She don't wanna lay awake at night Wonderin' where he's been [Chorus] I guess I showed up a little too late She stuck around till she couldn't wait You only get so many blue skies And just for once in her lifetime Somebody else is holdin' her now Somewhere watchin' the sun go down She's sailin' away the way she always hopеd And I think I missed the boat [Verse 2] She always triеd to make things right and go the extra mile She always said there's a fine line between hope and denial She always wanted that hero She'd spend her whole life with I always thought one of these days it'd be me ridin' in [Chorus] I guess I showed up a little too late She stuck around till she couldn't wait You only get so many blue skies Just for once in her lifetime Somebody else is holdin' her now Somewhere watchin' the sun go down She's sailin' away the way she always hoped And I think I missed the boat [Bridge] That ship has sailed I know There's a message in this bottle but I think that's all she wrote [Chorus] I guess I showed up a little too late She stuck around till she couldn't wait You only get so many blue skies And just once in her lifetime Somebody else is holdin' her now Somewhere watchin' the sun go down She's sailin' away the way she always hoped And I think I missed the boat [Outro] I think I missed the boat That ship has sailed I know I think I missed the boat
