I had me a high school sweetheart
With big time wedding plans
Then I signed up with the Navy
Went to work for Uncle Sam
Eighteen lonely months I waited
To see her again
When I got home to Gainesville
She′d married my best friend
What's a guy to say?
What′s a guy to do?
I could paint this old town red tonight
And still wake up with the blues
Good luck is bound to find me
If it comes around again
But I'll probably be out fishing
When my ship comes in
Took a job down at the sawmill
Where I worked hard every day
Climbed that corporate ladder
I was promoted with a big old raise
Very next morning they told me
That old sawmill had been sold
Someone gonna take your position, boy
They wrote me up, sent me home
What's a guy to say?
What′s a guy to do?
I could paint this old town red tonight
And still wake up with the blues
Good luck is bound to find me
If it comes around again
But I′ll probably be out fishing
When my ship comes in
I'll probably be out fishing
When my ship comes in
