Waiting Game

from Just One Night by The Taters

/

about

Originally a Monday Week song, and also an early Burnt Taters track that we decided to retool for a larger band. The Monday Week version was more of a walking, "Tell Me Why" (Beatles) groove, but it was rewritten for the first Burnt Taters album to make it more alt-country'ish. Brad on lead vocal here, and Ned Henson on lead guitar.

lyrics

They wait behind the door
One by one they find out more|
The hardest part is still outside
Just waiting

The talk goes round and round
But the terms are still the same
Now I'm sitting in this room again
Playing the waiting game

When will you decide
What you're gonna do with me?
In the meantime now I'm stuck outside
Just waiting

The talk goes round and round
But the girls are still the same
Now there's three men with their hands in chains
Playing the waiting game

Something might be happening
With all this waiting
Something might be happening
You could turn, you could go
But you might never know

A front porch with a chair
Tired years of sitting there
Wonder who might come inside
Just waiting

The talk goes round and round
But the house is still the same
Now there's one less day but no less shame
One more man to go insane
Playing the waiting game
