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
