Waiting Songtext
von Ashley Ray

I paint my smile in the mirror when the real one′s gone
This just ain't the kinda show that I thought I′d put on
Wiping tables when I should be singing songs

I cut my teeth on these barstools that I'm serving now
I watch all my friends grow up, and they just leave this town
Guess I'm lost again, right where I was found

Waiting, waiting
Thank God, I didn′t know at 22
How goddamn long a dream takes to come true


Passing by all the marquees I used to run around
I played that stage with Eric Church ′til they took my name down
14 years into this so-called 10-year town

And I'm waiting, waiting
I′m not where I thought I'd be at 32
How goddamn long does it take to make a dream come true

They got stubborn in the water where I come from
And you don′t wait on trains you think will never come
So I'm

Waiting, waiting
And I can′t wait to hear the things I'll say at 42
But how goddamn long does it take to make a dream come true
