Every mornin' the first thought that comes The list of everythin' I haven't done Keeps gettin' longer and it's not even noon Waitin' on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues I used to meet up with my buddies in town Talk about our days and share a few rounds After they leave no tellin' what I'll go through Waitin' on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues Ooh-ooh-ooh What can I do? Ooh-ooh-ooh Waitin' on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues Told my doctor this ain't no way to live I'll take anything he's willing to give Doubled the dosage and it's still no use Waitin' on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues They say confession it good for the soul Lately my burdens have been takin' their toll Talked to my preacher, he said, "I've been there, too" Waitin' on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues Ooh-ooh What can I do? Ooh-ooh Waitin' on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues I see it comin' from the moment I rise It won't matter how I spend my time Night comes on and there ain't nothin' new Waitin' on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues Ooh-ooh What can I do? Ooh-ooh Waitin' on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues
