My daddy told me when I grow up

I would find a girl someday

Up till now she still ain't shown up

Will she ever come my way

I've been pretendin' all the summer long

There will be a happy ending when she comes along

But I'm still waitin' on the shores of nowhere

Waiting till my boat comes in

I know it will someday

I've got to find a way to make my life begin

Baby I'm a loser

I'm still waiting on the shores of nowhere

For my boat to come in

For my life to begin someday

My daddy told me there's no hurry

She will come along alright

Who could blame me if I worry

For there's still no one in sight

I'll give the world to have her near me now

I only hope and pray that she can hear me now

Cause I'm still waiting on the shores of nowhere

Waiting till my boat comes in

I know it will someday

I've got to find a way to make my life begin

Baby I'm a loser

Yes I'm still waiting on the shores of nowhere

For my boat to come in

For my life to begin some-day

Yes I'm still waiting on the shores of nowhere

Waiting till my boat comes in

I know it will someday

I've got to find a way to make my life begin

Yes I'm still waiting on the shores of nowhere

Waiting till my boat comes in
