I been thinking

I been hummin'

I been picking and I been strumming

Just waiting waiting on a song

I been hitching and I been thumbin'

I can almost hear one coming

I'm just waiting waiting on a song

Looked down in my pocket

Underneath the bed

Walked under the lamp post

And one hit me on the head

Am I blind or too dumb to see

All the sound surrounding me

I'm just waiting waiting on a song

You can look up at the stars

Bow your head and count the cars

You'll still be waiting waiting on a song

Might be a blue bird or a crow

On a cord between two poles

They're just waiting waiting on a song

Songs don't grow on trees

You gotta pick em' out the breeze

Fall down on your knees

And pray one comes along

When those railroad gates come down

You gotta stop and turn around

Or you'll be waiting waiting on a song

You'll be waiting waiting on a song
