Constant Waiting

Constant Waiting - The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project/Mark Lanegan

Written by：Pierce/Jeffrey Lee

Under constant waiting

And all the wealth that you've known

She's standing there

In her apron

You're standing in the road

And she went off to the showgirl

That piece of paper in her hand

She had come to tell the governor

To turn loose of her man

When you wake up in the morning

You hear that ding dong ring

And all the words hit the table

You see the same d**n thing

If you ever go to Houston

You'd better watch your behind

You'd better not stumble

And you'd better not fight

For the police will arrest you

And then they'll carry you on down

You can bet your bottom dollar

That you're penitentiary bound

Under constant waiting

And all the wealth that you've known

She's standing there in her apron

You're standing in the deam road
