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 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.
