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 something lucky about this place
And there's something good coming,
For you and me
Something good coming,
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 something lucky about this place
There's something good coming,
Just over the hill
Something good coming,
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 something lucky about this place
There's something good coming,
For you and me
Something good coming,
There has to be
