You never gave a reason for leavin' Just packed your things and you said goodbye I guess you just got tired of believin' In the dreams of a dreamer such as I Usually I'm not left in this position Most of the time, it's me who says goodbye You never dropped a hint that you're goin' Naturally it came as a surprise Sittin' in a run-down dive in Austin Anticipatin' pain from losin' you Well it hasn't hit me yet It'll be here you can bet I'm sittin' here Waitin' on the blues I hate to get advice when I don't ask it That's what I'm gettin' here tonight The old man says 'cause I'm young I'm foolish Since he's old I guess he must be right He said I should try to forget about you I know that's not left for me to choose Who knows you might come back but until you do Guess I'll sit here waitin' on the blues Sittin' in a run-down dive in Austin This old man's tellin' me that I can't lose But I guess he's wrong 'cause I already lost you Oh I'm sittin' here Waitin' on the blues Sittin' in a run down dive in Austin You left me here with nothing left to lose Well this delayed misery You know it's damn near k**in' me I could spend a lifetime Waitin' on the blues. I could spend a lifetime Waitin' on the blues
