You've got everything you've ever wanted
Sitting in one beat-up old red Ford
You're too busy looking in that rear view mirror
To realize you've got all you're lookin' for.
I'm watching all this gravel settle down on me
On the front porch of the place you call home
Waitin' on the man I used to brag about
To be here but to leave me all alone
You used to swear you were the lucky one
I could tell in the way your blue eyes shined
But now I feel like I'm always looking behind me
Waiting for that girl to cross your mind
She was a fast thing, a one time fling
Turned forever in your mind
I'm here now, but there's no tellin' how
Long I'm gonna keep waiting
She was a heartbreak, a big mistake
You can't stop talking about
I'm here now, but there's no tellin' how
Long I'm gonna keep on waiting
How long are you gonna leave me hanging?
You're sending me down old highway 29
Singing songs that you used to sing to me
Now I feel like there's nothing down this highway
But the remains of your broken memories
I know now, if I walked away you may chase me
You may swear you were wrong all this time
But if this all you have ever wanted
Why is it only on your drunken time?
I feel your past's shadow overhead now
Falling on your yard--it's about to pour
The dogs are barkin', and you're just talkin'
About someone who's not around anymore.
She was a fast thing, a one time fling
Turned forever in your mind
I'm here now, but there's no tellin' how
Long I'm gonna keep waiting
She was a heartbreak, a big mistake
You can't stop talking about
I'm here now, but there's no tellin' how
Long I'm gonna keep on waiting
How long are you gonna leave me hanging?
