Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained
His old time dentures pitted and coffee stained
Drove a milk truck for an outfit called Dairy Time
Till the cobwebs filled and clouded his mind
Something borrowed, something blue
Rest a**ured her love was always true
They raised their Sons in a place called Tomales Bay
Then melanoma came and took her away
He doesn't worry but will often pine
TheTBiggest obstacle is pa**in time
He sold his house and bought a big old wood trawler
Now he drags the ocean to earn a square dollar
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained
The salty air helps to fade the pain
A simple man with a simple wish
Affable seas and an occasional load of fish
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained
Every now and then
Yer gonna get slapped with a slab of rain
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained
Some die and leave their mark
Some just a stain
Nothin' ventured nothin' gained...
