If You're Waiting On Me

Tryna 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

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 all gotta 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

Oh if you're waiting on me

If you're waiting on me

Hey if you're waiting on me

If you're waiting on me

Oh if you're waiting on me

You're backing up boys
