If You're Waiting On Me |
| Try’na make a dovetail joint fit tight |
| Anything I do I know I must do right |
| And while the buzz saws whine |
| I paint the fireplugs red |
| And while a pale moon shines |
| I bite my nails in bed |
| All we do is talk about the dreams we share |
| Talking while they vanish into thin hot air |
| Hey listen, mountains move |
| Ain’t there a time frame here? |
| Hey, promise must be proved |
| Now proving mine this year |
| And if you’re waiting on me |
| And if you’re waiting on me |
| Well if you’re waiting on me |
| You’re backing up boys |
| Once there was a man that couldn’t think too well |
| Spent a lotta time down in a self-made hell |
| And every choice he’d choose |
| It’d be the wrong damn door |
| I’m in his worn out shoes |
| But I’m not him no more, no |
| And if you’re waiting on me |
| And if you’re waiting on me |
| Well if you’re waiting on me |
| You’re backing up boys |
| Graduation day came slow |
| Many jukebox years ago |
| Gotta graduate more now |
| We gotta all learn how |
| Floating down the river till the sunset died |
| Standing where we shivered in the tugboat’s tide |
| Oh what a tide that was |
| We had it all right then |
| But now it’s gone because |
| 'Cause things just change, my friend |
| You and I know fully well that we’re not kids |
| Maybe I don’t know you like I thought I did |
| You tell me scarecrow things |
| I think it’s crossroad times |
| What will tomorrow bring? |
| You’d best make up your mind |
| And if you’re waiting on me |
| Now if you’re waiting on me |
| Well, if you’re waiting on me |
| You’re backing up boys |
| Said if you’re waiting on me |
| And if you’re waiting on me |
| And if you’re waiting on me |
| Said if you’re waiting… on me |
| If you’re waiting on me |
| You’re backing up boys |
