Don't Wait On Me Lyrics - Statler Brothers Live - Sold Out - The Statler Brothers

When the sun wakes up in the west 

And lays it's head down in the east 

When they ordain Madlyn O'Hare 

And she becomes a priest 

When a San Diego sailor 

Comes home with no tattoo 

When they put a dome on Wrigley Field 

I'll be comin' home to you 

But don't wait on me, little darlin' 

Lord, can't you see, little darlin'? 

I only go so far 

There ain't no guarantee 

Don't wait on me and when you 

That's somethin' I just can't do 

I never have and don't intend to 

Don't wait on me 

When the wind don't blow in Chicago 

And L.A. is cold and clear 

When they unfurl Old Glory 

And no one stands to cheer 

When my brother-in-law phones me 

And the charges ain't reversed 

When the cabbie don't want a bigger tip 

I'll be slidin' home from first 

And don't wait on me, little darlin' 

Lord, can't you see, little darlin'? 

I only go so far 

There ain't no guarantee 

Don't wait on me and when you 

That's somethin' I just can't do 

I never have and don't intend to 

Don't wait on me 

When you load up on a long shot 

And you win by half a nose 

When the Fourth of July parade 

Is called because it snows 

When the waiting room is empty 

And the Doc says, 'Come on in' 

When Christmas comes before New Years 

I'll be comin' home again 

But don't wait on me, little darlin' 

Lord, can't you see, small darlin'? 

I only go so far 

There ain't no guarantee 

Don't wait on me, when you 

That's somethin' I just can't do 

I never have and don't intend to 

Don't wait on me 

Don't wait on me 

Don't wait on me 

Don't wait on me 

Don't wait on me
