John Prine - Just waitin

The ^Gold maid's waitin' for leap year to come ^C The crooner's just waitin' to sing ^D The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign Just waitin' for the grass to ^Gturn green

^G The bar-fly's waitin' for an easy mark ^C An' the hitch-hiker's waitin' for a ride ^D The life-termer's waitin' for a prison break The beachcomber's waitin' for a ^Gtide

^G Farmer's daughter's waitin' for the salesman ^C To take her into town ^D An' the city slicker's waitin' for the country boy To lay all his money ^Gdown

^G You know everything comes to a standstill ^C Ain't nothin' seems to make a turn ^D The worm must be waitin' for the early bird I guess the early bird's waitin' on the ^Gworm

^G Nobody wants to do nothin' ^C Just waitin' to get a finger in the pie ^D Waitin' for a call from a big quiz show Or waitin' on some rich uncle to ^Gdie

^G Katy, she's waitin' at the garden gate ^C Moonshiner's waitin' at the still ^D The gambler's still waitin' for that ace in the hole And Jack's still waitin' on ^GJill

^G Everybody's waitin' for somethin' ^C Nothin' seems to turn out right ^D 'Cause the night shift's waitin' for mornin' And the burglar's just waitin' on the ^Gnight

^G The congregation is waitin' for the preacher ^C The preacher's just waitin' for the groom ^D And the groom's just waitin' for the June bride And the bride's just waitin' ^Gfor June

^G Sunflower's waitin' for the sunshine ^C Violet's just waitin' for dew ^D Bee's just waitin' for honey And, honey, I'm just waitin' for ^Gyou
