[Intro]
C G Ab
C G Ab
[Verse 1]
G Am F
Made my exit on the turnpike
G Am F
I saw the stateside toll and shuffled for some change
G Am F
I paid a man that talked as if he knew me
G Am F
And I could see it in his eyes, he could tell that I was running away
[Chorus]
C G Ab
What are you waiting for? it's just a minute away
C G Ab
Travel light you might just find yourself there for the day
C G Ab
What are you waiting for? it's just a minute away
Bb Ab Bb Ab
Following Rita, Following Rita
[Verse 2]
G Am F
Stopped to make a call and picked up Elvis
G Am F
Elvis James McCabe a future millionaire
G Am F
He wrestled with his thoughts out loud about two girls that he had left behind
G Am F
And said for forty five dollars he could help me on my way and get rich too
[Chorus]
C G Ab
What are you waiting for? it's just a minute away

Travel light you might just find yourself there for the day
C G Ab
What are you waiting for? it's just a minute away

Following Rita, Following Rita
[Bridge]
Dm C G
There was talk about after high school I would get a job
Dm C G
Gig at night and she would go to some community school
Dm C G Fmaj7
But her father changed jobs and we cried together as her plane was flying away
G Am F
Well the phone never was enough for us to hold on to
G Am F
Now every mile that I drive away gets me closer to you, yeah
[Chorus]
C G Ab
What are you waiting for? it's just a minute away
C G Ab
Travel light you might just find yourself there for the day
C G Ab
What are you waiting for? it's just a minute away

What are you waiting for? it's just a minute away
