An occasional joint, a glass or two of beer
Still I would never
have guessed that you'd wind up here
In a half-way house, on a dead-end street
In a run-down
part of a one-horse town
But just do what they say, don't worry 'bout your girl
'Cause I
won't run away, and I won't run around
And I won't let you down, and without a doubt
I'll be
waiting, waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out
You set the world on fire,
dancing after dark
Now you're playing solitaire in a fenced-in park
I'm not the one to judge
you, so baby don't be scared
No one gets a free ride, none of us is spared
I'll be back on
the ninth, I've circled the date
Three o'clock sharp, and I won't be late
You've been
through hell I know what that's all about
And I'll be waiting, waiting
Waiting at the gate
when they let you out
The doctors have so little faith
They say you were a classic
case
They said the chance is eight in ten
They'd see you back in here again
But I'm
counting on you to prove the doctors wrong
I'm imagining you, healthy and strong
Your papers
all stamped, your eyes so bright and blue
Looking like a baby picture of you
Walking down
the path, your suitcase in your hand
The howling at your back, a brand new man
Be a perfect
little camper, be a brave little scout
And I'll be waiting waiting
Waiting at the gate when
they let you out... | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
