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
