Waitin' On The Blues

(album: Millican - 1998)

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 sitting here
Waiting 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 waiting 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 sitting here
Waiting 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
Waiting on the blues.

I could spend a lifetime
Waiting on the blues
