Just Waitin'

The old maid's a waitin' for leap year to come
The crooner's just waitin' to sing
The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign
Just waitin' for the grass to turn green

The bar-fly's waitin' for an easy mark
And he hitchhiker's just waitin' for a ride
The lifetimer's waitin' for a prison break
The beachcomber's waitin' for the tide

Farmer's daughter's waitin' for the salesman
To take her into town
The city slicker's waitin' for the country boy
To lay all his money down

You know everything comes to a standstill
And nothing seems to make a turn
Worm must be waitin' for the early bird
I guess the early bird's waitin' for the worm

Nobody wants to do nothin'
Just waitin' to get a finger in the pie
Waitin' for a call for a big quiz show
Or a waitin' for some rich uncle to die

Katy, she's waitin' at the garden gate
The moonshiner's waitin' at the still
The gambler's still waitin' for that Ace in the hole
And Jack's still waitin' on Jill

Everybody's waitin' for something
Nothing seems to turn out right
'Cause the night shift's waitin' for mornin'
And the burglar he's just waitin' for night

The congregation's waitin' for the preacher
The preacher's just waitin' for the groom
The groom's just waitin' for the June bride
And the bride's just waitin' for June

Sunflower's waitin' for the sunshine
Violet's just waitin' for dew
Bee's just waitin' for honey
And honey
I'm just waitin' for you
