Waitin' On Sundown

Jimmy was waitin' on Shelby Jean
 In the parking lot at the Dairy Queen
 He knew she's gonna be there soon
 Then they'll blow this town just like a cheap balloon
 She came in cryin' this morning at the store
 Said "I swear Jimmy I just can't take no more"
 So he quit his job and drew his pay
 Now he's helpin' Shelby make her getaway
 Oh... sittin' on go
 Waitin' on sundown
 Waitin' on sundown
 No more beatin' to be denied
 No more bruises that makeup can't hide
 All these years she tried to love that man
 But all he ever gave her was the back of his hand
 Now Jimmy is a young boy just out of his teens
 So many things that he still hasn't seen
 But he's old enough to know wrong from right
 That's why he's helpin' Shelby make a break tonight
 And oh... sittin' on go
 Waitin' on sundown
 Waitin' on sundown
 Waitin' on sundown
 Drove all night, drove all day
 Jimmy listened to everything Shelby had to say
 How she'd suffered at her lover's hand
 He said honey, I wanna change all that if I can
 They pulled over to take a little rest
 Shelby put her head down on Jimmy's chest
 And she could hear the beatin' of his heart
 And it sounded like the rhythm of a brand new start
 And oh, she's gonna let him know
 She's waitin' on sundown
 She's just waitin' on sundown
 They're waitin' on sundown
 Waitin' on sundown
