Still Waiting Lyrics - Mark Wills

(Harley Allen) 

He should have been out playin' 

But he sat on his front step 

All day he's just been there waiting 

And nobody's showed up yet 

His dad said he'd come get him 

Bright and early Sunday morn 

But his mom knows he's forgotten 

Like he has since he was born, but. . . 

He's still waiting, he's still waiting 

He might be around the corner 

Or just right down the street 

He's still waiting, he's still waiting 

He tells his mom, " don't worry, 

this time he'll come get me" 

He's still waiting 

Group home in Kentucky 

She's been there for a while 

They tell her that she's lucky 

She's such a pretty child 

Somebody's gonna take you 

And raise you as their own 

She never knew her parents 

And she's never had a home, but 

She's still waiting, she's still waiting 

They might be around the corner 

Or just right down the street 

She's still waiting, she's still waiting 

She tells 'em, "I don't worry, 

someone will come for me" 

She's still waiting 

They're children of the needle 

The bottle and the poor 

The sum of broken people 

Who can't go on no more 

Sad eyes and dirty faces 

City streets and dirt roads 

Their lives are slowly wasting 

While everybody knows 

They're still waiting, they're still waiting 

All the little faces different races 

Who don't know what love is 

They're still waiting, they're still waiting 

All the sons and daughters of missing fathers 

Who never miss their kids 

They're still waiting, they're still waiting, they're still waiting
