Just Waitin'

[Verse 1] The old maid's waiting for leap year to come The crooner's just waiting to sing The old cow's standing by the Bull Durham sign Just a-waiting for the grass to turn green The barfly's waiting for an easy mark And the hitchhiker's waiting for a ride The life-termer's waiting for a prison break The beachcomber's waiting for the tide Farmer's daughter 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 a standstill Nothing seems to make a turn Worm must be waiting for the early bird And 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 from a big quiz show Or hoping and a-waiting for some rich uncle to die [Verse 2] Katy, she's waiting at the garden gate The moonshiner's waiting at the still And the gambler's still waiting for that ace in the hole I guess, Jack's still waiting for Jill Everybody's waiting for something Nothing seems to turn out right 'cause the night shift's waiting for morning And the burglar just waiting for night The congregation's waiting for the preacher Preacher just waiting for the groom The groom's just waiting for the June bride And the bride's just waiting for June Sunflowers waiting for the sunshine Violets just waiting for dew Bees just waiting for honey And, honey, I'm just waiting for you
