Lyrics

Waitin' For The Man to Come

Walkin' down these rainy streets
Keepin' an eye out for someone to meet
Spendin' money I ain't got and hopin' to be makin' some
My feet are cold and my clothes are wet
But I don't feel like quittin' yet
Sittin' here waitin'
Waitin' for the man to come

I've been things I don't want to be
I've seen things I don't want to see
A ten years paid vacation could be fun.
Wastin' time is such a bore
I can't take fakin' it no more
Sittin' here waitin',
Waitin' for the man to come.

I've tried this and I've tried that
Everything except goin' back
To places that I've been and things I've done.
The day my ship comes sailin' in we'll celebrate
But until then I'm sittin' here waitin'
Waitin' for the man to come

If I could live my life again
Would I love the same lovers?
Befriend the same friends
And keep the faith with each and every one?
Play my cards as best I'm able
Eat what's set upon the table
Sittin' here waitin',
Waitin' for the man to come
Sittin' here waitin',
Waitin' for the man to come
Sittin' here waitin',
Waitin' for the man to come
