Missed the Boat
She wants a man on Sunday morning to get up and take her to church
She wants a man that 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
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 one once in a lifetime
Somebody else is holding her now
Somewhere watchin' the sun go down
She's sailing away the way she always hoped
I think I missed the boat
She always tried to make things right and go the extra mile
She always said that 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 riding in
But 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 one once in a lifetime
Somebody else is holding her now
Somewhere watchin' the sun go down
She's sailing away the way she always hoped
I think I missed the boat
That ship has sailed, I know
There's a message in this bottle but I think that's all she wrote, yeah
Oh yeah
Well 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 one once in a lifetimes
Yeah somebody else is holding her now
Somewhere watchin' the sun go down
She's sailing away the way she always hoped
Yeah
And I think I missed the boat
I think I missed the boat
That ship has sailed I know
I think I missed the boat
She wants a man that 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
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 one once in a lifetime
Somebody else is holding her now
Somewhere watchin' the sun go down
She's sailing away the way she always hoped
I think I missed the boat
She always tried to make things right and go the extra mile
She always said that 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 riding in
But 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 one once in a lifetime
Somebody else is holding her now
Somewhere watchin' the sun go down
She's sailing away the way she always hoped
I think I missed the boat
That ship has sailed, I know
There's a message in this bottle but I think that's all she wrote, yeah
Oh yeah
Well 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 one once in a lifetimes
Yeah somebody else is holding her now
Somewhere watchin' the sun go down
She's sailing away the way she always hoped
Yeah
And I think I missed the boat
I think I missed the boat
That ship has sailed I know
I think I missed the boat
