| 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 |
