Waitin' On Joe Lyrics - Singles - Steve Azar

We're supposed to start work down on the river today. 

And for Joe and me, it's some pretty good pay. 

Now, I was countin' on him 

To be at the dock by ten. 

A week's pay says he's still at home, 

'Cause the boy's in his own time zone 

I'm a waitin' on Joe, whaddya know. 

Time flies fast and he is slower than a..... 

I told him over and over: "Now don't you be late." 

Ah, but like always, 

I'm just sittin' on go, 

And waitin' on Joe. 

Yeah. 

Towboat's a leavin' 'cause it don't care. 

What's not on board and who's not there. 

Once that whistle blows, 

Down the mighty river it rolls. 

Man if I could be more like that, 

I'd get on with my life and never look back. 

Instead of waitin' on Joe, whaddya know. 

Time flies fast and he is slower than a..... 

I told him over and over: "Now don't you be late." 

Ah, but like always, 

I'm just sittin' on go, 

And waitin' on Joe. 

Waitin' on Joe. 

And he's in a hurry, 

'Cause he's runnin' behind. 

Now I'm not one to worry, 

But I've got a real bad feeling this time. 

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa oh, oh . 

'Cause sirens are crying all through this town. 

Yeah 

And one old boy said "Hey, Joe never slowed down." 

He tryed to beat that mornin' train, 

My life will never be the same 

I didn't even tell my brother goodbye, 

Lord I wish some how he could send me a sign. 

Yeah, I'm a-waitin' on Joe, whaddya know. 

Time flies fast and he is slower than a..... 

I told him over and over: "Now, don't you be late." 

Ah, but like always, 

I'm just sittin' on go, 

And waitin' on Joe. 

Waitin' on Joe.
