Steve Forbert - If You're Waiting On Me lyrics

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
