Missed the Boat

VERSE 1

All they’ve ever told me

Is that time is on my side

A thousand miles of open road that lead to bright blue skies

Then It happened in an instant

All I did was blink

I guess the years go flying by faster than you think

CHORUS

So I just gotta know

Have I still got time or is that all she wrote

Am I treading water trying to stay a float

Am I heading down a road I shouldn’t go

Have I still got rope

Or have I missed the boat

VERSE 2

Ain’t no way to stop it

Like a storm in Tennessee

Praying that it disappears

but I know that it won’t leave

What if I never make it

Will I ever find my wife

I’d like to have a couple kids

It’s kind of on my mind

CHORUS

So I just gotta know

Have I still got time or is that all she wrote

Am I treading water trying to stay a float

Am I heading down a road I shouldn’t go

Have I still got rope

Or have I missed the boat

VERSE 3

When I get to where I’m going

will I reach the other side

If I see those pearly gates will they close or open wide

Have I only let him down

or will he give me grace

Cuz lately I’ve been wondering

if I’m already too late

CHORUS

So I just gotta know

Have I still got time or is that all she wrote

Am I treading water trying to stay a float

Am I heading down a road I shouldn’t go

Have I still got rope

(God only knows)

Or have I missed the boat
