lyrics

Drinking beer for breakfast, lunch and dinner too
I ain’t been eating so well, now I’m not cooking for you
My clothes are falling apart just like my head and my heart sometimes
Oh I feel, feel like I’m going down

When my ship comes in
When my ship, when my ship, when my ship comes in
I’ll probably miss it the shape I’m in
I’ll miss it the shape I’m in
I’ll miss that ship when that ship comes in
I’ll miss it again and again and again

Down the road thinking of, the times gone by
From down this low it’s hard to believe that I was ever up so high
The rain, the wind, the cold, I’m sitting on this rocky shore
I just can’t seem to pick myself off the floor

When my ship comes in
When my ship, when my ship, when my ship comes in
I’ll probably miss it the shape I’m in
I’ll miss it the shape I’m in
I’ll miss that ship when that ship comes in
I’ll miss it again and again and again

Drinking beer, drinking beer all of the time
Drinking beer all of the time
All I remember is you, when you closed the door
I just cannot pick myself off the floor

When my ship comes in
When my ship, when my ship, when my ship comes in
I’ll probably miss it the shape I’m in
I’ll miss it the shape I’m in
I’ll miss that ship when that ship comes in
I’ll miss it again and again and again
