I`m waiting for the man
Twenty six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, One Two Five
So sick and dirty more dead than alive
I`m waiting for the man
Hey white boy, what you doing uptown?
Hey white boy, you`re chasing all the women around
Oh pardon me sir it`s furthest from my mind
I`m just looking for a good friend of mine
I`m waiting for the man
Here he comes, he`s all dressed in black
PR shoes, and a big straw hat
He`s never early, he`s always late
First thing you learn is that you`ve always got to wait
I`m waiting for the man
Brown stone building and three flights of stairs
Nobody stops you `cause nobody cares
He`s got the works and he gives you sweet taste
But then you`ve got to split because you`ve got no time to waste
I`m waiting for the man
Baby don`t you holler, darling don`t you scream and shout
I`m feeling good, I`m going to work it on out
I`m feeling good, I`m feeling so fine
Until tomorrow but that`s just another time
I`m waiting for the man
I`m waiting for the man
Twenty six dollars lying there in my hand
Up to Lexington, One Two Five five
So sick and dirty more dead than alive
I`m waiting for the man
