| When the sun wakes up in the west
|
| And lays it’s head down in the east
|
| When they ordain Madalyn O’Hair
|
| And she becomes a priest
|
| When a San Diego sailor
|
| Comes home with no tattoo
|
| When they put a dome on Wrigley Field
|
| I’ll be comin' home to you
|
| But don’t wait on me, little darlin'
|
| Lord, can’t you see, little darlin'?
|
| I only go so far
|
| There ain’t no guarantee
|
| Don’t wait on me and when you
|
| That’s somethin' I just can’t do
|
| I never have and don’t intend to
|
| Don’t wait on me
|
| When the wind don’t blow in Chicago
|
| And L.A. is cold and clear
|
| When they unfurl Old Glory
|
| And no one stands to cheer
|
| When my brother-in-law phones me
|
| And the charges ain’t reversed
|
| When the cabbie don’t want a bigger tip
|
| I’ll be slidin' home from first
|
| And don’t wait on me, little darlin'
|
| Lord, can’t you see, little darlin'?
|
| I only go so far
|
| There ain’t no guarantee
|
| Don’t wait on me and when you
|
| That’s somethin' I just can’t do
|
| I never have and don’t intend to
|
| Don’t wait on me
|
| When you load up on a long shot
|
| And you win by half a nose
|
| When the Fourth of July parade
|
| Is called because it snows
|
| When the waiting room is empty
|
| And the Doc says, 'Come on in'
|
| When Christmas comes before New Years
|
| I’ll be comin' home again
|
| But don’t wait on me, little darlin'
|
| Lord, can’t you see, small darlin'?
|
| I only go so far
|
| There ain’t no guarantee
|
| Don’t wait on me, when you
|
| That’s somethin' I just can’t do
|
| I never have and don’t intend to
|
| Don’t wait on me
|
| Don’t wait on me
|
| Don’t wait on me
|
| Don’t wait on me
|
| Don’t wait on me |
