Nothin' Ventured

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 assured 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 passin time
 He sold his house and bought a big ol' 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...
