WAITIN' SUCH AWHILE

==============================

Sippin whiskey
(with a) Glass of beer
(It's) Been a long hard road
That brought me here
Ran out of reasons
Why I need a smile
Good times must be comin' soon
I've been waitin' such awhile

Barroom mirrors
Reflect old news
Rich men win
Workin' men lose
Need the wisdom of the ages
Need the faith of a child
Good times must be comin' soon
I've been waitin' such awhile

Been waitin' for the changes
That are sure to come my way
Been hopin' for a miracle
I've forgotten how to pray
I got visions of a better time
Waitin' up ahead
I'd rather see it livin'
But I'll settle for it dead

Smoke and liquor
Lord, they're killin' me
Drinkin' myself blind
To understand the things I see
Yesterday's gone
Ride tomorrow out in style
Good times must be comin' soon
I been waitin' such awhile
