Story Behind The Song
I was sitting in an airport, waiting for another delayed plane. My guitar had been checked, but my lyric book and pen were in my backpack.
Song Description
A delicate acoustic ballad. The story of a two blue collar day laborers who struggle to find work, but easily find companionship, told by a vocal line so delicate that it may just break.

Lyrics
Please don't worry, I'm on your side
We're both waiting for the same ride
We have no money, standing in line
I've got a story if you've got time
My job left me for another country
Cheap and easy to go on without me
But I would glady tell you a story if you could calm me down, calm me down to sing
'Cause I would rather you not worry, just calm me down, calm enough to breathe
Sit and wait with me desperately
Who's that coming?
We need something to get us working
We're both able
Just say what to do
And if you've got room
Would you kindly take two?
But I would glady tell you a story if you could calm me down, calm me down to sing
'Cause I would rather you not worry, just calm me down, calm enough to breathe
Sit and wait with me desperately
