Текст песни
I had me a high school sweetheart,
With big time wedding plans
Then I signed up with the Navy,
Went to work for Uncle Sam
Eighteen lonely months I've waited,
To see her again
When I got home to Gainsville,
She married my best friend
What's a guy to say?
What's a guy to do?
I can paint this whole town red tonight,
And still wake up with the blues
Good luck is bound to find me,
If it comes around again,
But I'll probably be out fishing,
When my ship comes in
Took a job down at the saw mill,
Where I worked hard everyday
Climb that corporate ladder,
I was promoted with a big ol' raise
The very next morning they told me,
That old saw mill had been sold
Someone's gonna take your position boy,
They wrote me off and sent me home
What's a guy to say?
What's a guy to do?
I can paint this whole town red tonight,
And still wake up with the blues
Good luck is bound to find me,
If it comes around again,
But I'll probably be out fishing,
When my ship comes in
I'll probably be out fishing,
When my ship comes in
