joe diffie - ships that don't come in lyrics

Loading...

i could tell he’d had a tough life
by the way he sat and stared
and me, i’d come to push and shove
so i pulled up a chair

we talked of roads untraveled
we talked of love untrue
of strings that come unraveled
we were kings and kindred fools

and just when i’d hit bottom
that old man raised his gl-ss
and said at least we had our chances
there’s those who never have

so here’s to all the soldiers
who have ever died in vain
the insane locked up in themselves
the homeless down on main

to those who stand on empty sh-r-s
and spit against the wind
and those who wait forever
for ships that don’t come in

he said it’s only life’s illusions
that bring us to this bar
to pick up these old crutches
and compare each other’s scars

’cause the things we’re calling heartache
h-ll, they’re hardly worth our time
we b-tch about a dollar
when there’s those without a dime

and as he ordered one last round
he said i guess we can’t complain
god made life a gamble
and we’re still in the game

so here’s to all the soldiers
who have ever died in vain
the insane locked up in themselves
the homeless down on main

to those who stand on empty sh-r-s
and spit against the wind
and those who wait forever
for ships that don’t come in

and those who wait forever
for ships that don’t come in
