I told my baby I'm coming home

I got turned around - that was a couple of days ago

Now I'm stuck down in Missouri, I'm broke and out of touch

Nights and days are getting blurry - and I told my baby don't you worry

And would you wait, wait for me, please wait

How many times can someone apologize

Before the words turn to wind right before your eyes

Blowing across the prairie, rustling through the trees

Before they turn into something else entirely

Now would you wait

Wait for me, please wait

Wait for me, one more minute if you can

One more hour, one more day

I promise I'll make it up to you

If you can find it in your heart to wait

Wait for me, please wait

I know you've got suitors breaking down your door

Trying to gain an audience and then a little more

And I've detoured to Kentucky, tangled in Tennessee

I missed you in Des Moines and now I'm leaving Sioux City

And heading way up back North through Minneapolis

Hoping you'll wait for me

Wait for me, one more minute if you can

One more hour, one more day

I promise I'll make it up to you

If you can find it in your heart to wait

Wait for me, pease wait

You've got every right to be upset

The only promises that I recall are the ones I haven't kept

And now I ask you plainly as the summer sun hangs low

To wait for me when I'm unsure of the distance still to go

I thank you for your patience no matter if you do or don't

Wait

Wait for me, please wait
