Waiting For The Whistle

She said this town is killing me

all I remember are a thousand faces

I was blind but now I see

just give me some time child, and I’ll take you places

far away from here

she said roses don’t mean a thing

I said I’ll have to disagree

she said she don’t want no diamond ring

I just want you to be close by me now

and there ain’t nothing to explain

we’re all just waiting for the whistle to blow

and there ain’t no way she’s gonna chain my horses

not when she’s waiting for the whistle to blow

she said the scenery is all the same

I’m sick and tired of this drugstore living

I said it’s a low-down dirty shame

you never get back what you’re giving

she said I was born to die alone

I said I’ll have to disagree

she said there ain’t no time to be wrong

so come inside boy and waste your love

on me

and there ain’t nothing to explain

we’re all just waiting for the whistle to blow

and there ain’t no way she’s gonna chain my horses

not when she’s waiting for the whistle to blow
