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
