Intro: I had me a highschool sweetheart With big time wedding plans Then I signed up with the Navy Went to work for Uncle Sam Eighteen lonely months Ive waited To see her again When I got home to Gainsville She married my best friend Chorus: Whats it got to say Whats it got 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 Ill probably be out fishing When my ship comes in Took a job down at the saw mill Where I work 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 Someones gonna take your position boy They wrote me off and sent me home Chorus: Whats it got to say Whats it got 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 Ill probably be out fishing When my ship comes in But Ill probably be out fishing When my ship comes in
