Andy Griggs - Waitin' On Sundown Lyrics
(russell smith/gary nicholson)Jimmy was waitin on shelby jeanIn the parking lot at the dairy queenHe knew shes gonna be there soonThen theyll blow this townLike a cheap balloonShe came in cryin this morning at the storeSaid, I swear jimmy, I just cant take no moreSo he quit his job and drew his payNow hes helpin shelby make her getawayOh...sittin on goWaitin on sundownWaitin on sundownNo more beatin to be deniedNo more bruises that makeup cant hideAll these years shes tried to love that manBut all he ever gave herWas the back of his handNow, jimmy is a young boyJust out of his teensSo many things that he still hasnt seenBut hes old enough to know wrong from rightThats why hes helpin shelbyMake her break tonightAnd oh...sittin on goWaitin on sundownWaitin on sundownWaitin on sundownDrove all night drove all dayJimmy listened to everything shelby had to sayHow shed suffered at her lovers handHe said honey I wanna change all that if I canThey pulled over to take a little restShelby put her head down on jimmys chestAnd she could hear the beatin of his heartAnd it sounded like the rhythm of a brand new startAnd oh shes gonna let him knowShes waitin on sundownShes just waitin on sundownYeah theyre waitin on sundownWaitin on sundownTheyre waitin on sundown
