waitin´ on sundown þarký sözü

(russell smith/gary nicholson)

jimmy was waitin´ on shelby jean
in the parking lot at the dairy queen
he knew she´s gonna be there soon
then they´ll blow this town
like a cheap balloon

she came in cryin´ this morning at the store
said, i swear jimmy, i just can´t take no more
so he quit his job and drew his pay
now he´s helpin´ shelby make her getaway

oh...sittin´ on go
waitin´ on sundown
waitin´ on sundown
no more beatin´ to be denied
no more bruises that makeup can´t hide
all these years she´s tried to love that man
but all he ever gave her
was the back of his hand

now, jimmy is a young boy
just out of his teens
so many things that he still hasn´t seen
but he´s old enough to know wrong from right
that´s why he´s helpin´ shelby
make her break tonight

and oh...sittin´ on go
waitin´ on sundown
waitin´ on sundown
waitin´ on sundown
drove all night drove all day
jimmy listened to everything shelby had to say
how she´d suffered at her lover´s hand
he said honey i wanna change all that if i can
they pulled over to take a little rest
shelby put her head down on jimmy´s chest
and she could hear the beatin´ of his heart
and it sounded like the rhythm of a brand new start

and oh she´s gonna let him know
she´s waitin´ on sundown
she´s just waitin´ on sundown
yeah they´re waitin´ on sundown
waitin´ on sundown
they´re waitin´ on sundown
