lyrics

Hope Floats | Dave McKinley
Hope floats
So please don’t sink my boat
Wine flows
To where does the conversation go
Something lift me up and give my bones a shake
Don’t hesitate to replicate the gracious twist of fate
You’d better hold me down, I’m bleeding out, my mouth is dry
Win or lose the life I choose is mine to turn around
And face the sun
Turn my walk in to a run
F-a-c-e face the sun
Turn my walk into a run
Hope has a ghost
In a land of despair just off the coast
It shines a beam of light
To guide the way so the rocks and the boats don’t fight
To the disingenuous the fake and the phony ones
To the almost rans that also fanned the flames that licked the sun
You’d better cool your beans, shape your dreams, you selfish bums
The bell will ring for you and there’ll be nothing you can do about it
But face the sun,
Turn my walk in to a run,
F-a-c-e face the sun
Turn my walk into a run
Something lift me up and give my bones a shake
Don’t hesitate to replicate the gracious twist of fate
You’d better hold me down, I’m bleeding out, my mouth is dry
Win or lose the life I chose is mine to turn around
And face the sun
Turn my walk in to a run
F-a-c-e face the sun
Turn my walk into a run
