Waitin' on the Blues

You never gave a reason for leaving Just packed your things and you said goodbye I guess you just got tired of believing 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 going Naturally it came as a surprise Sitting in a run-down dive in Austin Anticipating pain from losing 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 getting 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 Sitting in a run-down dive in Austin This old man's telling 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 Sitting 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 killing me I could spend a lifetime Waitin' on the blues I could spend a lifetime Waitin' on the blues
