Just Waitin' - John Prine

The old maid’s waitin' for leap year to come

The crooner’s just waitin' to sing

The old cow’s standing by the Bull Durham sign

Just waitin' for the grass to turn green

The barfly’s waitin' for an easy mark

An' the hitchhiker’s waitin' for a ride

The life-termer's waitin' for a prison break

The beachcomber’s waitin' for a tide

Farmer’s daughter’s waitin' for the salesman

To take her into town

The city slicker’s waitin' for the country boy

To lay all his money down

You know everything comes to a standstill

Ain’t nothin' seems to make a turn

Worm must be waitin' for the early bird

I guess the early bird’s waitin' on a worm

Nobody wants to do nothin'

Just waitin' to get a finger in the pie

Waitin' for a call from a big quiz show

Or waitin' on some rich uncle to die

Katy, she’s waitin' at the garden gate

The moonshiner’s waitin' at the still

The gambler’s still waitin' for that ace in the hole

And Jack is still waitin' on Jill

Everybody’s waitin' for somethin'

Nothin' seems to turn out right

'Cause the night shift’s waitin' for mornin'

And the burglars are just waitin' on the night

The congregation is waitin' for the preacher

The preacher is just waitin' for the groom

And the groom’s just waitin' for the June bride

And the bride’s just waitin' for June

Sunflowers waitin' for the sunshine

Violets just waitin' for the dew

Bees just waitin' for honey

And, honey, I’m just waitin' for you
