I'm watching the water

Watching the coast

Suddenly I know

What I want the most



And I want to tell you

Still I hold back

I need some time

Get my life on track



I know that look on your face

But there's somethin' lucky about this place

And there's somethin' good comin'

For you and me

Somethin' good comin'

There has to be



And I'm thinking 'bout mama

And about the kids

And the way we lived

And the things we did



How she never had a chance

Never caught a break

And how we pay for our big mistakes



I know so well the look on your face

And there's somethin' lucky about this place

There's somethin' good comin'

Just over the hill

Somethin' good comin'

I know it will



And I'm in for the long run

Wherever it goes

Ridin' the river

Wherever it goes



And I'm an honest man

Work's all I know

You take that away

Don't know where to go



And I know that look that's on your face

There's somethin' lucky about this place

There's somethin' good comin'

For you and me

Somethin' good comin'

There has to be
