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.
