Well I can't take no more
My troubles wash ashore
As I wait for a turn in the tide
I've come a long long way
But that was yesterday
Now I wait for a turn in the tide
Well you can probably sell me
If you think you can tell me
It's all gonna be all right
Id suffer the inducer
If it would make my future
Bright
I ain't an employee
Nobody don't want me
As I wait for a turn in the tide
Must I mine my teeth for gold?
My Chevy's 12 years old
As I wait for a turn in the tide
Well it ain't very funny
When you ain't got no money
And everything is tight
An optimist regardless
Hope this'll turn my darkness
Bright
Bright
I've made some unwise choices
And I've heard all the voices
Say 'I don't think he's quite right'
But I am more sure-footed
You'll see that I ain't stupid
But bright
And here amidst the wreckage
I'm blessed with the most encouraging signs
But when they lead to nowhere
I close my eyes and hope they're right next time
There's been no trim for me
Since twenty-0-0-3
As I wait for a turn in the tide
Now Satisfaction's rare
This stone don't roll nowhere
So I wait for a turn in the tide
So I wait for a turn in the tide
So I wait for a turn in the tide
