Wait for me

I told her wait right here, baby,
I’ll be back when the mornin’ comes,
I ain’t the man you wanted yet,
But I swear I’m workin’ on the one I’ll become.
She said you’re always chasin’ somethin’,
Always gone, always out of reach,
I said this guitar and these late night songs
Are the only things keepin’ peace in me.
Chorus:
So wait for me, don’t give up on me yet,
I’m just a poor man chasin’ a dream I ain’t caught yet,
I know I ain’t much right now, I know I ain’t easy to love,
But if you walk this road with me, I’ll be the man you’re dreamin’ of.
We only talk about once a week now,
That’s more than I deserve I know,
Your friends say I ain’t goin’ nowhere,
But they don’t see the road I’m on.
Your family want a rich man,
Suit and tie and a steady pay,
All I got is these worn out boots,
And a guitar that helps me say—
Chorus:
Wait for me, don’t give up on me yet,
I’m just a poor man chasin’ a dream I ain’t caught yet,
I know I ain’t much right now, I know I ain’t easy to love,
But if you walk this road with me, I’ll be the man you’re dreamin’ of.
Late at night I look at the sky,
Stars shinin’ like they know my name,
Maybe everybody got a reason,
Maybe all this hurt ain’t for nothin’ but change.
If I find my way someday,
And this road finally sets me free,
The first place that I’m runnin’ to,
Girl, is where you’ll be.
Final Chorus:
So wait for me, just a little more time,
I’m out here tryin’ to turn these hard days into a life,
I might be lost right now, but I swear I’m tryin’ to see,
And when I finally find my way…
I hope you’re waitin’ there for me.
