Waiting for This Moment

Mama cried when I went off to college

Daddy cried when I came back home

My room was just the way I left it

But the boy who lived there was gone, gone, gone

Went back to Pike Central High School

For the hometown football game

Sat in the stands with my old friends

Telling stories, but it just wasn't the same

Sometimes I miss the good old days

But I know they brought me to this place

Oh, all my life I've been waiting for this moment

Oh, all my life I've been waiting for this moment

It's been ten years of chasing this crazy dream

Tryna make it big somehow

I've been high and low and in-between

But I won't let it get me down, no

Don't need to know how this will all turn out

I'm wide awake in the here and now

Oh, all my life I've been waiting for this moment

Oh, all my life I've been waiting for this moment

You build a life, kids and wife

And you punch the clock every day

Still waiting for your ship to come in

And you hope that it's on its way

Well, it ain't on its way

No, it's here today

I've been waiting, been waiting

Oh, all my life I've been waiting for this moment

Oh, all my life I've been waiting for this moment

Oh, all my life I've been waiting for this moment

Oh, all my life I've been waiting for this moment
