I've been thinking
I've been humming
I've been picking
And I've been strumming
Just waiting
Waiting on a song

I've been hitching
I've been thumbing
I can almost hear one coming
I'm just waiting
Waiting on a song

I look down in my pocket
Underneath the bed
I walked under a lamp post
And one hit me on the head

Am I blind or too dumb to see?
All the sounds 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 posts
They're just waiting
Waiting on a song

Songs don't blow on trees
You gotta pick them out the breeze
You 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
