When he washed ashore
The drunken sailor was adrift in the city night
When I get these blues, I just look back down that road
And I thank the Lord that a loser can sometimes win
And my very worst days are so much better
These blues ain't nothin' like the blues I had
And you'd better believe, in the mornin' my burden was light
Well I don't know where I'm goin'
And watchin' for a ship with a silver sail
But I got lucky and I woke up in jail
Before I paid a little debt I owed
But I know where I've been
Everythin' I ever needed was on the shelf
Than the best I knew back then
And it's easy to see I could not see that was me
And there ain't no need to ever go back again
Spent all of my time feelin' sorry for myself
I was driftin' and dreamin' and waitin'
There is none so blind as he who will not see
