Waitin` On Joe — текст песни (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.
It was that 12 O`clock train,
So he didn`t feel a thing,
Lord,. I believe that my brother`s all right,
Still I`m prayin` he`ll just 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.
