Just Waitin'

Just Waitin'

(album: For Better, Or Worse - 2016)

The old maid's a waiting for leap year to come, the crooner's just waiting to sing
The old cow's standing by the Bull Durham sign, just waiting for the grass to turn green
The bar-fly's waiting for an easy mark, the hitchhiker's just waiting for a ride
The lifetimer's waiting for a prison break, the beachcomber's waiting for the tide

Farmer's daughter's waiting for the salesman to take her into town
The city slicker's waiting for the country boy to lay all his money down
You know everything comes to standstill and nothing seems to make a turn
Worm must be waiting for the early bird, I guess the early bird's waiting for the worm

Nobody wants to do nothing just waiting to get a finger in the pie
Waiting for a call for a big quiz show or a waiting for some rich uncle to die
Katy she's waiting at the garden gate, the moonshiner's waiting at the still
The gambler's still waiting for that Ace in the hole and I Jack's still waiting for Jill

Everybody's waiting for something, but nothing seems to turn out right
Cause the night shift's waiting for morning and the burglar he's just waiting for night
The congregation's waiting for the preacher, the preacher's just waiting for the groom
The groom's just waiting for the June bride and the bride's just waiting for June
Sunflower's waiting for the sunshine, violet's just waiting for dew
Bee's just waiting for honey and honey I'm just waiting for you
