lyrics

I’ve been waiting, but never too long
I’ve been laid back while coming on strong
I’ve been laughing when nothing’s funny
I’m so tired that I’ll never sleep.

I’ve been crying here in my joy
Danced flirtatious while playing coy
Up and standing from deep in my chair
Distraction focused, tearing at my hair

I thank the man who helped me see
That blind and bloodshot is the way to be
Call on Walker, James or Jack
It’s just John Barleycorn that we lack.

I’ve been dancing here in the air
Second chancing down every stair
Unbuttoned sweating through the show home
Laughing sadly, trying not to moan.

I thank the man who helped me see
That blind and bloodshot is the way to be
Call on Walker, James or Jack
It’s just John Barleycorn that we lack.
