[Verse 1: Renn Anderson] They say that I'm the king of California They tip their hats and wave, but hey don't say I didn't warn ya 'Cause with the other hand they'll clinch their fist And when you turn your back they'll stab and twist It's the life that we must live when we find fortune There's a pocket watch in the jacket on my shoulder I feel it's weight as time goes by and I keep on getting older I reach for gold to place my bet Brush past the half-toked cigarette It's a lonely life inside my head But still I'm hanging on [Chorus: Renn Anderson] I keep waiting Waiting all along for you to cave-in Admit that you were wrong for all you gave me Oh for all my pride you were the fall of me You owe me an apology [Verse 2: Renn Anderson] I've done some things I ain't to proud to say And there's a God above who'll come to judge but whats His hurry anyway? See we've all got scars that prove our test You either walk away or you get left
I remember every word you said And now still I'm hanging on [Chorus: Renn Anderson] I just keep waiting Waiting all along for you to cave-in Admit that you where wrong for all you Gave me I swear for all my pride you were the fall of me You owe me an apology [Verse 3: Renn Anderson] I walked a hundred miles in a day I climbed a mountain staked my flag and I watched it fly away See heaven has no time for this man's crooked games or politic It's a lovers war, a takers gift And it all gets washed away [Chorus: Renn Anderson] And still I'm waiting Waiting all along for you to cave-in Admit that you were wrong for all you've gave me I swear for all my pride you were the fall of me And I am here I just keep waiting Waiting all along for you to cave-in Admit that you were wrong for all you gave me Well f** my pride Oh you were the fall of me You owe me an apology Yeah you owe me an apology
