[Verse 1]
I been Ethinking and been B7hummin'
I been Epickin and I been Astrumming
Just Ewaiting, B7waiting on a sEong
I been hitching and I been B7thumbin'
I can Ealmost hear one Acoming
I'm just Ewaiting, B7waiting on a sEong
[Bridge]
AI looked down in my pocket
EUnderneath the bed
AWalked under the lamp post
And one Ehit me on the B7head
[Verse 2]
EAm I blind or too dumb to B7see
All the Esound surrounding Ame?
I'm just Ewaiting, B7waiting on a sEong
[Bridge]
E B7 E A E B7 E
[Verse 3]
You can look up at the B7stars
Bow your Ehead and count the Acars
You'll still be Ewaiting, B7waiting on a sEong
Might be a blue bird or a B7crow
On a Ecord between two Apoles
They're just Ewaiting, B7waiting on a sEong
[Bridge]
ASongs don't grow on trees
You gotta Epick em' out the breeze
AFall down on your knees
And Epray one comes B7along
[Outro]
When those Erailroad gates come B7down
You Egotta stop and turn Aaround
Or you'll be Ewaiting, B7waiting on a sEongA  
You'll be Ewaiting, B7waiting on a AsongC#m  B7  E
