[Verse 1]
Look how you're standing there
There with your hands out
Standing next to the road that goes up
Running your mouth about how you're going to wait
For the one that comes down
Who do you think you are? Somebody's baby?
You want what everyone has, but you want your name on it
Think it happens like that? That'd be nice wouldn't it?
I've got to be careful of you
I want to get there, too

[Chorus]
You want to go, but you want a free ride
You want an in by standing on the outside
I'm not the one to call when it comes undone
You want the world, but don't want to pay out
Don't want to hurt, and don't want to say out loud that I'm right
There's no end in sight waiting on a free ride

[Verse 2]
You said your turn is coming
That's what you told me
And so you stand in one place
Wait for the tunnel to come light up your face
And reward you for what you haven't done
And I know it's out of my hands
But I had to pay with blood, sweat, and tears
While you dare to say that your lucky day's past due
[Chorus]
You want to go, but you want a free ride
You wanted in by standing on the outside
I'm not the one to call when it comes undone
You want the world, but don't want to pay out
Don't want to hurt, and don't want to say out loud that I'm right
There's no end in sight waiting on a free ride

[Verse 3]
I see you when the lights rise up
You want some, too
How could anyone blame you?
I see you when the lights rise up
You want some, too
How could anyone blame you?
You want to go, but you want a free ride
You want to go, but you want a free ride

[Chorus]
You want to go, but you want a free ride
You wanted in by standing on the outside
I'm not the one to call when it comes undone
You want the world, but don't want to pay out
Don't want to hurt, and don't want to say out loud that I'm right
There's no end in sight waiting on a free ride
[Outro]
Just waiting
Waiting on a free ride
