That Ship Sailed L Dunn © '19
Verse
Like a high pop fly lost in the sun
If not blinded by the light he'd've had that one
An opportunity missed he's come to regret
In a high stakes game
More often than not
There's only one chance that you get
Chorus
There was a time he could've had it all
But from vanity's hand fortune can fall
He missed his calling now he'll never know
Cause that ship sailed long ago
That ship sailed long ago
Verse
He was a natural as far as talent goes
But it takes more than talent, lord only knows
What virtue is pride that refuses to bend
Lady luck's impatient
She did not wait
As pride got the best of him
Chorus
Solo
Bridge
To hear him tell it, it was plain as day
He spoke from his heart, had this to say
He knew all too well, you can't bring back
The one that got away
Chorus
Tag
He missed his calling now he'll never know...
Cause that ship sailed long ago
That ship sailed long ago
