Waiting on the Blue Songtext
von Josh Rouse

I went down to the Ninth Ward
I have a friend living down there
Bought a couple of shotgun shacks
He was doing his best to repair
Getting in the way
It was a sunny place
On the hill there′s a swing
Where the Mississippi sings
While you sip on your bottle of beer

All my life
Like this lazy boulevard
All my life
Waiting on the blue, baby


I got back into Nashville
And the East was twisted around
Neighbors helping the neighbors
Build back up what was blown down
A cloudy day
I saw a friendly face
All the sweets and the sours
They put in a lot of hours
Yearning, turning their work into play

All my life
Couple of kids out in the barns
All my life
Chasing after you
All my life
Like a crazy boulevard
All my life
Waiting on the blue, baby

Think I'll go out this evening
And have a drink, talk to a friend
Celebrate all our failures
And make a toast to what lies ahead
Another day
A friendly face
All the deals and the plots
And the what we have nots
Won′t let 'em turn our love into hate


All my life
Couple of kids out in the yard
All my life
Chasing after you
All my life
Like a crazy boulevard
All my life
Waiting on the blue, baby
