Waiting For The Whistle
She said this town is killing me
all I remember are a thousand faces
I was blind but now I see
just give me some time child, and I'll take you places
far away from here
she said roses don't mean a thing
I said I'll have to disagree
she said she don't want no diamond ring
I just want you to be close by me now
and there ain't nothing to explain
we're all just waiting for the whistle to blow
and there ain't no way she's gonna chain my horses
not when she's waiting for the whistle to blow
she said the scenery is all the same
I'm sick and tired of this drugstore living
I said it's a low-down dirty shame
you never get back what you're giving
she said I was born to die alone
I said I'll have to disagree
she said there ain't no time to be wrong
so come inside boy and waste your love
on me
and there ain't nothing to explain
we're all just waiting for the whistle to blow
and there ain't no way she's gonna chain my horses
not when she's waiting for the whistle to blow
all I remember are a thousand faces
I was blind but now I see
just give me some time child, and I'll take you places
far away from here
she said roses don't mean a thing
I said I'll have to disagree
she said she don't want no diamond ring
I just want you to be close by me now
and there ain't nothing to explain
we're all just waiting for the whistle to blow
and there ain't no way she's gonna chain my horses
not when she's waiting for the whistle to blow
she said the scenery is all the same
I'm sick and tired of this drugstore living
I said it's a low-down dirty shame
you never get back what you're giving
she said I was born to die alone
I said I'll have to disagree
she said there ain't no time to be wrong
so come inside boy and waste your love
on me
and there ain't nothing to explain
we're all just waiting for the whistle to blow
and there ain't no way she's gonna chain my horses
not when she's waiting for the whistle to blow
