[Verse 1]
She takes your hand, hand, hand
She wants to dance, dance, dance
So you write a song
That shoots around her feet
They want to dance, dance, dance
You tell em yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah you play just for fun
But I play just for keeps
And laziness waits like a gun
In a nightstand drawer beneath the hot Dallas sun
[Chorus]
Waiting, watching, taking, something
And riding it bareback cross the plain into the vanish point again
Waiting, watching, taking, something
I heard there is water up the road
She called me up and let me know
[Verse 2]
I lived alone, lone, lone
Just like a toad, toad, toad
Then she kissed my nose
Oh what a fool I was
And laziness waits like a gun
In my pocket beside a wad of chewing gum
[Chorus]
Waiting, watching, taking, something
And riding it bareback cross the plain into the vanish point again
Waiting, watching, taking, something
I heard there is water up the road
She called me up and let me know
[Bridge]
When you're getting frayed
I'll get the sewing machine and I'll stay
Stay up all night
Writing you name
We'll do the things that you like
[Chorus]
Waiting, watching, taking, something
And riding it bareback cross the plain into the vanish point again
Waiting, watching, taking, something
Heard there is water up the road
She called me up and let me know
