Someday, Baby

Someday, Baby, when your ship comes in,
You’re gonna send for me,
We’ll be together again.
I’m just tryin’ to stay afloat
Until your ship comes in.

Someday, Baby, when the river dries
And the last of the rain
Falls from the cold, grey skies
Maybe then you’ll realize
After I dry your eyes
That my love never dies.

CHORUS
   But until then, Hey pour me another
   And pour one for yourself my brother.
   Hell, just sell me the bottle
   ‘Cause I’m lookin’ to find some trouble.

Someday, Baby, when you think of me,
You’re gonna wonder why
You could never see
There are more important things
Than being free.

Someday, Baby, when your wand’rin’s done
You’re gonna realize
That I was not the one
Stoppin’ you from being young
And havin’ fun,
Following the sun.

CHORUS

HALF BRIDGE
      I want you here with me
      Holding me tight.
      I want you here with me
      Tonight.

SOLO

CHORUS

FULL BRIDGE
      Why aren’t you here with me
      Holding me tight?
      Why aren’t you here with me?
      I call your name at night,
      Don’t care who’s wrong or right
      But I’ll keep up this fight
      Until you see the light

Someday, Baby, when your ship comes in
You’re gonna send for me
We’ll be together again.
But since that ship ain’t sailin’ tonight,
I’ll just have one more gin....
