Waitin' on Sundown

Waitin' on Sundown - Top Country All-Stars/Country Hit Superstars/Country Nation

Jimmy was waitin' on Shelby Jean

In the parkin' lot at the dairy queen

He knew she's gonna be there soon

And they'll blow this town

Like a cheap balloon

She came in cryin' this mornin' 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

And oh sittin' on go

Waitin' on sundown

Waitin' on sundown

No more beatin's 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)
