Make My Way Lyrics - The Blue Dogs

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
