Waiting Lyrics - Singles - Graham Colton Band

refro: 

Everybody just a-waitin' an' a-waitin' 

Everybody just a-waitin' an' a-waitin' 

Everybody just a-waitin' an' a waitin' and a-waitin' 

Everybody just waitin' their time away 

Some are waitin' for the county fair 

some are waitin' for a guy name Joe comin' in 

Joe's comin' in from the coast 

You know, haven't seen ol' Joe for a real long time. 

I hope that Joe's got news that things been goin' better out there 

than they have been 'roun' here, 

Everythin's been a little slow in the middle. 

Everybody, I mean everybody, I mean everybody, I mean 

Everybody been a-waitin' [repeat chorus] 

Some are waitin' for their sandwich 

Some are waitin' on tables 

An' then the tables 

Ah the tables they get real inspired an' they get up an' they start 

dancin' that boogaloo with the chairs 

Salt an' pepper shaker keepin' time 

Window shade rollin' up, rollin' down 

Seems like some of those tables and chairs got a lot more spunk than the 

people sittin' in 'em, at 'em, all arou' 'em 

everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody 

I mean... 

refro 

Waitin' for a bran' new day. 

Some are waitin' for a truck to come 

Some are waitin' for a bus to stop, take 'em out to San Francisco 

Jus' about twelve years ago 

So they can walk into little paperback store 

Look at a big glossy oversize paperback book 

All about the Wheel of Time an' mantras 

An' Baba Ram Dass, Baba Ram Dass, Baba Ram... 

Gonna tell ya' what it's all about. 

Maybe some a' you read about it in a magazine 

Maybe some of you were there making the scene 

We didn' know, we didn' know 

I swear, 

we didn' know that we was jus' waiting for now. 

Yeah, but, everybody been a-waitin' an' a-waitin 

Everybody been a-waitin' an' a-waitin' 

an' a-waitin' an' a-waitin' an' a-waitin, heavy waitin' 

Waitin' in the water, jus' like John 

Everybody been waitin' their time away. 

Some are waitin' for a new kind of lover 

Some are waitin' to move it on over to a new kind-a job, 

You know, even ol' Tom Waits is 

you know, you know even ol', you know (sinks into Tom Waits voice) 

you know even ol', you know even, 

you know even ol' Tom Waits, uh... 

you know even ol' Tom Waits has been... 

you know even ol' Tom Waits has been waitin' 

He been waitin' down by the docks, 

diners, uh... 

gotta copy of the poems of Jacques Prevert or sumthin... 

back pocket, he's waitin' down... 

Lookin' for a blond to come in with big tits an' bad teeth... 

uh, ah waitin' aroun'... 

bee bop diddily uh kee bop 

... 

He's waitin' for his voice to clear up! 

So he can say "good mornin'" to some real, original, authentic wino-type guy, 

ya' know a lotta people might look like a wino these days 

but you gotta check 'em out, 

gotta get a wino card. 

Say "good mornin' " to 'em an' then that wino guy... he's... 

he looks at Tom an' then he says... 

I ain't gonna say what he says... 

but... 

Tom, he writes it down in a little book, 

writes it all down in a little book, 

doin' awright, doin' awright, doin'-an-a-doin'-an-a-doin' awright 

Jus' waitin' his time away. 

Some are waitin' for the new Galileo 

Some are waitin' for the new Picasso 

Some are waitin' for the new Mr. Freud 

He was 'sposed to be here about an hour ago. 

I was hopin' he could clear up for us jus' what's so funny about this 

garbage disposal we got here's 

We know it means more than just a garbage disposal, it's a... 

It's a symbol, it could be a metaphor, 

might be a simile, 

We gotta wait 'til Sigmund gets here... 

refro 

Some are waitin' for the green 

Some are waitin' for the blue 

Some are waitin' for the green, some are waitin' for the blue... 

You been waitin' for me, I been waitin' for you. 

But then now you know
