Wash and Wait

Washing away the dust and load,

In this old barn, I carry the load.

Looking for a spark, beneath the stars,

A cowboy's heart, behind these scars.

Boots in the suds, wash by the creek,

Dreams of love, I softly seek.

Spin the plates, wipe the stains,

Hoping love will ease my pains.

Out under the moon, I stand alone,

Longing for a love to call my own.

Hold me closer in the night,

Let's find our love in the fading light.

Cowboy dish washer, with a gentle soul,

Searching for love to make me whole.

Under the wide open sky, I pray,

For someone to love me someday.

Dusty roads and washing lines,

Heart hopes and old signs.

If you’re out there, hear my tune,

Come on, love, and be my moon.

So I'll keep on washing, keep on hopeful,

Waiting for love, strong and faithful.

Cowboy dish washer, that's my song,

Dreaming of where I belong.
