Waiting For The Tide To Turn

My nights are long

I'm all alone

My money's short

So I'm stickin' close to home

And waiting

Waiting for the tide to turn

Time will bring on some changes

That's one sure thing that I've learned

Got no woman now

When a woman's what I need

When my ship comes in

I'm gonna have me two or three

I'm waiting

Waiting for the tide to turn

Patience, patience, patience

Is one sure thing that I've learned

Every time I fall

I bounce a little higher

I get back five for every dollar that I lose

Every time I'm down

Real good times follow

But don't you feel bad for me when you hear these blues

Ohh, every time I fall

I bounce back a little higher

I get back five for every dollar that I lose

Every time I'm down

Real good times follow

But don't feel bad for me when you hear these blues

I'm waiting

Waiting for the tide to turn

Time will bring on some changes

That's one sure thing that I've learned
