Waitin' on Joe

Waitin' On Joe

(Steve Azar)

We're supposed to start work down on the river today

And for Joe and me, it's some pretty good pay

Now, I was countin' on him

To be at the dock by ten

A week's pay says he's still at home

'Cause the boy's in his own time zone

I'm a waitin' on Joe, whaddya know

Time flies fast and he is slower than a.....

I told him over and over: "Now don't you be late."

Ah, but like always

I'm just sittin' on go

And waitin' on Joe

Yeah

Towboat's a leavin' 'cause it don't care

What's not on board and who's not there

Once that whistle blows

Down the mighty river it rolls

Man if I could be more like that

I'd get on with my life and never look back

Instead of waitin' on Joe, whaddya know

Time flies fast and he is slower than a.....

I told him over and over: "Now don't you be late."

Ah, but like always

I'm just sittin' on go

And waitin' on Joe

Waitin' on Joe

And he's in a hurry

'Cause he's runnin' behind

Now I'm not one to worry

But I've got a real bad feeling this time

Oh, oh, oh, whoa

'Cause sirens are crying all through this town

And one old boy said Joe never slowed down

He tried to beat that morning train

My life will never be the same

I didn't even tell my brother goodbye

Lord i wish somehow he could give me a sign

Yeah, I'm a-waitin' on Joe, whaddya know

Time flies fast and he is slower than a.....

I told him over and over: "Now don't you be late."

Ah, but like always

I'm just sittin' on go

And waitin' on Joe

Waitin' on Joe
