Waitin' On Sundown Lyrics - Singles - Andy Griggs

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 just like a cheap balloon 

She came in cryin' this morning 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 getaway 

Oh... sittin' on go 

Waitin' on sundown 

Waitin' on sundown 

No more beatin' to be denied 

No more bruises that makeup can't hide 

All these years she tried to love that man 

But all he ever gave her was the back of his hand 

Now Jimmy is 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 a break tonight 

And oh... sittin' on go 

Waitin' on sundown 

Waitin' on sundown 

Waitin' on sundown 

Drove all night, drove all day 

Jimmy listened to everything Shelby had to say 

How she'd 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 

They're waitin' on sundown 

Waitin' on sundown
