The Blue Dogs - Make My Way Lyrics

Here comes that boat floating down the river

The south bound channel on the west side

It looks like the captain's pulling over

And I'm bound to take a ride

Take a ride

Well down at the dock I paid my fare

I paid only one way not two

I don't know where but I'll get there

And on my way I'll sing this tune

And when the night falls down on the southern city

And there's nothing left to do but play

Well opportunity is beckoning to me

And I'll make my way back home some day

Don't you know my daddy was a real hard worker

For us he did all he could do

Worked all day for the white collar man

So he could send us off to school

But I feel just like cryin

Because I didn't play by all his rules

Well opportunity is beckoning to me

And I'll make my way back home some day

Here comes that boat floating down the river

The south bound channel on the west side

It looks like the captain's pulling over

And I'm bound to take a ride

Take a ride

And when the night falls down on the southern city

And there's nothing left to do but play

Well opportunity is beckoning to me

And I'll make my way back home some day
