Waitin' on the Blues Songtext
von Reckless Kelly

You never gave a reason for leavin′
Just packed your things and you said goodbye
I guess you just got tired of believin'
In the dreams of a dreamer such as I

Usually I′m not left in this position
Most of the time, it's me who says goodbye
You never dropped a hint that you're goin′
Naturally it came as a surprise

Sittin′ in a run-down dive in Austin
Anticipatin' pain from losin′ you
Well it hasn't hit me yet
It′ll be here you can bet
I'm sittin′ here
Waitin' on the blues


I hate to get advice when I don't ask it
That′s what I′m gettin' here tonight
The old man says ′cause I'm young I′m foolish
Since he's old I guess he must be right

He said I should try to forget about you
I know that′s not left for me to choose
Who knows you might come back but until you do
Guess I'll sit here waitin' on the blues

Sittin′ in a run-down dive in Austin
This old man′s tellin' me that I can′t lose
But I guess he's wrong
′cause I already lost you
Oh I'm sittin′ here
Waitin' on the blues

Sittin' in a run down dive in Austin
You left me here with nothing left to lose
Well this delayed misery
You know it′s damn near killin′ me
I could spend a lifetime
Waitin' on the blues.


I could spend a lifetime
Waitin′ on the blues
