Waiting On Mary

Dad’s got Steve Miller Band jamming out in his garage Every early morning I’d be kicked up across the yard With the sugar so sweet in a juice box her favorite wild cherry You know me just waiting on Mary She weren’t like the other kids hanging in the neighborhood She wanted to see the world and so she said we should Sneak off down Hampton Drive with all the candy we could carry You know me chasing after Mary Chorus My first taste of life before I learned to live it My first taste of love before I learned to give it I’ll still be dreaming about that girl when I’m dead and buried You know me just waiting on Mary I had a swing in my backyard but Mary wouldn’t swing with me She’d run up the hill with her dogs wanting me to play family I was a man and it was my job bringing home blackberries You know me taking care of Mary We couldn’t grow up fast enough and Mary got herself a car Friday nights in the backseat taking things a little too far Test-driving her kisses on me a little thrilling, a little scary You know me cruising with Mary My first taste of life before I learned to live it My first taste of love before I learned to give it I’ll still be dreaming about that girl when I’m dead and buried You know me waiting on Mary Blew that town to turn into the somebody she said I’d be But I’m still looking for that girl in every face I see Something’s missing simple and true sweet as wild cherry You know me just waiting on Mary My first taste of life before I learned to live it My first taste of love before I learned to give it I’ll still be dreaming about that girl when I’m dead and buried You know me oh you know me just waiting on Mary Yeah waiting on Mary Waiting on Mary, waiting on Mary, waiting on Mary
