maybe i'll see you again
when the tide roll in my friend
won't be holding out for then
end to end

wasn't standin' out in the cold
lookin' for something to behold
just a joke somebody told
and old

sun like it when you woke
a wheel when you spoke
some make it when you don't
and some broke

broken bird with her broken wing
she always sing the same damn thing
better bid that boy adieu
before that boy bid adieu to you

homecoming, no star sign
easy son, just keep in mind
them old times ain't worth a dime
when you're holdin' out for
a reason why

should there come a judgment day
tell your heart what to say
let nothin' guide your way
and pray

maybe i'll see you again
when the tide roll in my friend
i won't be holdin' out for then
