I'm Just Like That Old Man In The Sea

Lyrics

VERSE He was out there all alone, staring down a big fish When he knew it was on his line; he had nothing but one wish He tied it to his boat to get it home, but the sharks got all but the bones PRE-CHORUS Now he never gave up; he just went back for more Watch and see; I'm gonna be just like him CHORUS I'm just like that old man in the sea Hell, yes, that's a hard thing to be I'm just a guy who came from nowhere Started from nothing; took what was there And I'm not giving up without a fight VERSE I was out there feeling all alone, in the dark, then you came along When I felt you were mine all mine, believing commitment was strong I asked you for together forever, but you rejected my love song PRE-CHORUS Seems you still have some thoughts for someone else But I'll make you see love should be me Repeat CHORUS RIDE BRIDGE Sometimes love tries so hard to slip away But if it's real, it's worth fighting for Repeat CHORUS TAG Yes, I started from nothing; took what was there And I'm not giving up without a fight Words & Music by Don Tomlinson © 2019 Solid Sterling Music (BMI) All Rights Reserved.
