I ain't waiting on nobody no more Put away my dancing shoes, boxed up my dress clothes Gave away those pinstripes that I never wore 'Cause I ain't waiting on nobody no more I don't expect her to come knocking at my door She always came too late or never at all So I turned off the lights on my front porch 'Cause I ain't waiting on nobody no more But there was a time when we were together We had each other, we didn't need nobody else But now our home feels open and empty She's moved on without me and now I'm living with myself I don't hang out in all the bars I did before
I got plenty of books to read, they'll keep me company There ain't no polished sterling in my drawer 'Cause I ain't waiting on nobody no more But there was a time when we were together We had each other, we didn't need nobody else But now our home feels open and empty She's moved on without me and now I'm living with myself I ain't waiting on nobody no more Put away my dancing shoes, boxed up my dress clothes Gave away those pinstripes that I never wore 'Cause I ain't waiting on nobody no more No, I ain't waiting on nobody no more No, I ain't waiting on nobody no more
