Waitin' On

(kix brooks)

Well you might say trouble is my middle name
I can't get ahead of the game
Runnin' on empty and i'm runnin' late
Bossman's yelling won't give me a break
I could write a book about getting behind
But there's one kind of trouble that i don't mind

She meets me after work when the sun goes down
She's the kind of trouble that makes the world go 'round
Total strangers, even my best friends, bird-dog my baby when she walks in
She's a little slice of heaven, and hell on heels
And never gonna walk the line
Oh, but she's the kind of trouble that i don't mind

We're dancing to the band and from the time we start
They circle like hungry sharks
They're cuttin' in quick as i can cut 'em loose
I could get jealous but it ain't no use
She can't help it 'cause she's so fine
She's the kind of trouble that i don't mind

We're dancing to the band and from the time we start
They circle like hungry sharks
They're cuttin' in quick as i can cut 'em loose
I could get jealous but it ain't no use
She can't help it 'cause she's so fine
She's the kind of trouble that i don't mind

She's hanging out the window on the way back home
She yells at everybody just come on along
Party at my place just follow the truck
We'll be cuttin' a rug 'til the sun comes up
She's a little slice of heaven, hell on heels
And never gonna walk the line
Oh but she's the kind of that i don't mind

She knows what's been keepin' him out too late
She never was the kind to sit around and wait
She loosened the locket he gave her
She took off her wedding band
And when he gets home he'll find
All she's left behind is

Silver and gold
Haven't they lost their shine
Tonight she let go for the last time
Just silver and gold
Ties that no longer bind her
Now he's left alone with silver and gold

He could've kept her love so easily
It wasn't like she didn't try to make him see
But once she made up her mind
There was no turnin' back
And he's gonna understand
When all he's holdin' in his hands is

Silver and gold
Haven't they lost their shine
Tonight she let go for the last time
Just silver and gold
Ties that no longer bind her
Now he's left alone with silver and gold

And what once was sacred, only yesterday
They don't mean a thing as she walks away

Silver and gold
Haven't they lost their shine
Tonight she let go for the last time
Just silver and gold
Ties that no longer bind her
Now he's left alone with silver and gold

I'm still hurtin' from the last time
You walked on this heart of mine
I can't find much to believe in
You let me down so many times
Heaven knows how i love you
But i'm tired of holding on
You better kiss me
'cause your gonna miss me when i'm gone

Not much chance we're gonna make it
If i'm the only one who's trying
You know i'm running out of reasons
And we're running out of time
Someday, girl, you're gonna wake up
And wonder what went wrong
You better kiss me
'cause your gonna miss me when i'm gone

You're good at going through the motions
All i hear are alibis
Not i get this empty feeling
When i look into your eyes
I don't see a love light shining
I don't know what's going on
You better kiss me
'cause your gonna miss me when i'm gone

You better kiss me
'cause your gonna miss me when i'm gone

You better kiss me
'cause your gonna miss me when i'm gone

(ronnie dunn/kix brooks/don cook)

I've loved you since i met you
I guess i always will
There's something 'bout the way you smile
That makes my heart stand still
You say you love your freedom
I'd never tie you down
If you ever need these loving arms
I'll be hangin' 'round

If that's the way you want it
That's alright with me
If that's the way you want it
That's how it's gonna be
I'll be your johnnie on the spot
Or mr. used to be
If that's the way you want it
That's alright with me

I'm laid back, easy-going
I'm not the jealous kind
I won't get in your business
If you won't mess with mine
Just say the word forever
I'll gladly sing that line
I'll lay the world down at your feet
And fly you to the moon

If that's the way you want it
That's alright with me
If that's the way you want it
That's how it's gonna be
I'll be your johnnie on the spot
Or mr. used to be
If that's the way you want it
That's alright with me

I was sittin' in a truckstop
Watchin' tumbleweeds roll by
Tryin' to read the menu
When the waitress caught my eye
She pulled a pencil from her hair
And leaned across the bar
I did my best not to stare
But man, she made it hard

I asked that trucker next to me
Hey, what looks good today
He said i know what's on your mind
And boy, there ain't no way
Get yourself some apple pie
And something cool to drink
I know you want the special
And i like the way you think

But you can't have the waitress
Boy, everybody's tried
There's a cowboy down in abilene
Who keeps her satisfied
They got a hundred acre dream
That's gettin' closer every day
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away

Hard times hit west texas
Damn near everything's for sale
But there's somethings we hold sacred
When everything else fails
When we're down to nothing
Out here, everybody shares
Most of us have lost our dreams
So we bought into theirs

I've seen her walk a hundred miles
Up and down this floor
I've never seen her fail to smile
When he limps through that door
So when you're done, you leave a tip
And make it nice and fat
And feel lucky you can own a piece
Of something like that

But you can't have the waitress
Boy, everybody's tried
There's a cowboy down in abilene
Who keeps her satisfied
They got a hundred acre dream
That's gettin' closer every day
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away

But you can't have the waitress
Boy, everybody's tried
There's a cowboy down in abilene
Who keeps her satisfied
They got a hundred acre dream
That's gettin' closer every day
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away

Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away
