Ships Lyrics

Eddie had a few days comin' So he took a Las Vegas jaunt Out to the land of supply and demand Where you can get anything you want
He wasn't lookin' for true love No he didn't believe in that stuff Eddie LeGrande was a hard workin' man Who just needed a little good luck
His shoes were a little worn His hair was a little thin Just another old sailor Waitin' on his ship to come in
Lily was a two time looser Who said that love was just a roll of the dice She acted real tough, said once ain't enough For me I learned my lesson twice
But deep in her heart lived a young girl Dreamin' a young girl's dream And that young girl was who Eddie ran into Over by the slot machines
Her face was a little pale Her dress was a little thin [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/ships-lyrics-patty-loveless.html ] Oh but lookin' at her was like Watchin' his ship come in
Well, he bought her a cup of coffee With the quarters he meant to play They went for a bite and they talked all night Till they said what they needed to say
Then they found 'em an all night chapel With a heart shaped honeymoon suite And somewhere tonight in the neon light Two hearts can't be beat
And he's singin' a little song She's grinnin' a little grin And they're holdin' each other Watchin' their ship to come in
Her face was a little pale His hair was a little thin But they're two young lovers Watchin' their ship come in
Just holdin' each other Watchin' their ship come in
