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
