Al Pratt - Waitin' for the Man to Come Lyrics

Walkin' down these rainy streets
Keepin' an eye out for someone to meet
Spendin' money I ain't got and hopin' to be makin' some
My feet are cold and my clothes are wet
But I don't feel like quittin' yet
Sittin' here waitin', waitin' for the man to come

I've been things I don't want to be
And seen things I don't want to see
A ten years paid vacation could be fun
Wasting time is such a bore
I can't take fakin' it no more
Sittin' here waitin', waitin' for the man to come

I've tried this and I've tried that
Everything but goin' back
To places that I've been and things I've done
The day my ship comes sailin' in
We'll celebrate but until then
I'm sittin' here waitin', waitin' for the man to come

If I could start my life again
Would I love the same lovers
Befriend the same friends
And keep the faith with each and every one?
Play my cards as best I'm able
Eat what's set upon the table
Sittin' here waitin', waitin' for the man to come
