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 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 GET-A-WAY
AND OH SITTIN' ON GO
WAITIN' ON SUNDOWN
WAITIN' ON SUNDOWN
NO MORE BEATINGS
TO BE DENIED
NO MORE BRUISES
THAT MAKE-UP
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'S
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
4 BAR
BREAK
DROVE ALL NIGHT
DROVE ALL DAY
JIMMY LISTENED
TO EVERYTHING
SHELBY HAD TO SAY
HOW SHE 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
