If You're Waiting On Me (Album Version)

Tryna make a dovetail joint fit tight
Anything I do I know I must do right
And while the buzz saws whine
I paint the fire plugs red
And while a pale moon shines
I bite my nails in bed
All we do is talk about the dreams we share
Talkin while they vanish into thin hot air
Hey listen, mountains move
Ain't there a time frame here?
A promise must be proved
An' I'm provI' 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 backin 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
And if you're waiting on me
And if you're waiting on me
Well, if you're waiting on me
You're backin up boys
Graduation day came slow
Many jukebox years ago
Gotta graduate more now
We gotta all learn how
Floatin down the river till the sunset died
Standin where we shivered in the tug boat'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 backin 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 backin up boys
