Wait It Out
(Tift Merritt and Jay Joyce)
Well Josie walks around like she bought herself some brand-new clothes
Singing to herself, swinging for the sidewalk Joes
She got a cousin down in Reno, says the money's coming fast
So she's packing it up, but her mama says it ain't gonna last
Chorus:
Wait it out, wait it out
So tired of hearing that I got to slow down
I ain't gonna listen to them tell me how
I just got to burning and I won't stop now
Well the late-night broken-down army ain't got no wheels
Billy's leaning on an Eldorado just to see how it feels
He's got his hands in his pockets, jingling a dollar in change
Leaving just as soon as he can get a job down in L.A.
Chorus
Your love's not sure
Your heart needs time
Take all you want
But don't take mine
Wait it out, wait it out
So tired of hearing that I got to slow down
I ain't gonna listen to them tell me how
I just got to burning and I won't stop...
Chorus
