[Verse 1]
I've been thinking
I've been humming
I've been picking and I've been strumming
Just waiting
Waiting on a song
I've been hitching
I've been thumbing
I can almost hear one coming
Now just waiting
Waiting on a song

[Verse 2]
I looked down in my pocket
Underneath the bed
I walked under a lamp post
And one hit me on the head
Am I blind or too dumb to see?
All the sound surrounding me
I'm just waiting
Waiting on a song

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
You can look up at the stars
Bow your head and count the cars
You'll still be waiting
Waiting on a song
Might be a blue bird or a crow
On a cord between two poles
They're just waiting
Waiting on a song
[Bridge]
Songs don't grow on trees
You gotta pick 'em out the breeze
Fall down on your knees
And pray one comes along

[Verse 4]
When those railroad gates come down
You gotta stop and turn around
Or you'll be waiting
Waiting on a song
You'll be waiting
Waiting on a song
