Waiting on a Song

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
