Waitin' For You

I never dreamed there could be
A someone made just for me
And i'm lettin' her have her way.
I'm here to see what she has to say
Ah, the poor girl always wins the day.
I'm stayin' ahead of the game
And she's a-doin' the same
And the whiskey flyin' into my head.
The fiddler's arm has gone dead
And talk is beginning to spread.

When did our love go bad?
Whatever happened to the best friend that I had?
It's been so long since I held you tight
Been so long since we said good night.
The taste of tears is bittersweet
When you're near me my heart forgets to beat.
You're there every night
Among the good and the true
And i'll be 'round waitin' for you.

Well the king of 'em all is starting to fall
I lost my gal at the boatman's ball.
The night has a thousand hearts and eyes
Hope may vanish, but it never dies.
I'll see you tomorrow when freedom rings
I'm gonna stay on top of things.
It's the middle of summer and the moon is blue
And i'll be 'round waitin' for you.

Well, another deal gone down
Another man done gone.
You put up with it all
And you carry on.
Something holdin' you back
But you'll come through
I'd bet the world and everythin' in it on you.
Happiness is but a state of mind
Anytime you want you can cross the state line
You don't need to be rich or well to do
I'll be 'round waitin' for you.
