SITTIN' ON THE FRONT PORCH WAITIN'

Sittin’ on the front porch waitin’
Waitin’ for the fun to begin
Sittin’ on the front porch
Waitin’ here – all alone – once again
You know the lady says she’s comin’ home someday
Trouble is – she won’t say when
So, I’m just sittin’ on the front porch
Waitin’ for the heartache to end

You know she left our home in Georgia
Rollin’ down to New Orleans
I never will forget her
Steppin’ to her limousine – no-no-no!
Now the lady’s causin’ more excitement
Than this country’s ever seen
Still I’m just sittin’ on the front porch
Waitin’ til she comes home to me

She’s goin’ too far – they made her a star
She’s got a hot record – and a brand new car
She’ll be drivin’ on home to hold me
Any moment now – the lovin’ll start!

You know, the lady says she’s comin’ home someday
I’m just hopin’ she’ll make it soon
‘Cause I’m just sittin’ on the front porch
Waitin’ here ‘til…maybe…next June?

She’s goin’ too far – they made her a star
She’s got a hot record – and a brand new car
She’s drivin’ on home to hold me
Any moment now – our lovin’ ‘ll start!

You know, the lady’s got the whole world talkin’
You know, she really is somethin’ to see
But I’m sittin’ on the front porch
Waitin’ – ‘til she comes home to me!

Sittin’ on the front porch waitin’
Waitin’ for the mornin’ mail
Mailman says – if she writes
He’ll bring it on by – without fail
I know, the lady says she’s come home someday
And day now – she’ll roll right in
So, I’m sittin’ on the front porch
Waitin’ for the fun to begin!

How long do I gotta wait!

Sittin’ here – got my smart phone – waitin’ for the lady to call
She could text me or somethin’ – been here all summer
Half the Fall – after all!

It’s been months, now! – what car is she drivin?
What city is she in? – heck, I don’t know!

No way she’s gonna dump me…!
I gave her my class ring! – Class of ’99 – you remember!

Come on, Babe! – just waitin’ here!
Maybe tomorrow mornin’ – could be any day, now!

Oh, I don’t know – just “Facebook Me” or something!
