| 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 |
