Various Artists - Waiting For The Man lyrics

I'm waiting for the man Twenty-six dollars in my hand Up to Lexington 1-2-5 So sick and dirty, more dead than alive I'm waiting for the man Hey white boy, what you doin' in town Hey white boy, chasin' all the women around Oh pardon me, sir, it's the last thing on my mind I'm just looking for a good friend of mine I'm waiting for the man Here he comes, he's all dressed in black Real shoes and a big straw hat He's never early, he's always late First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait I'm waiting for the man Big dirty building, up three flights of stairs Nobody stops you 'cause nobody cares He's got the works, gives you sweet taste Then you gotta split because he's got no time to waste I'm waiting for the man Baby, don't you holler, darlin', don't you bawl and shout I'm feeling good, I'm gonna work it on out I'm feeling good, I'm feeling so fine Until tomorrow but that's just another time I'm waiting for the man I'm waiting for the man Twenty-six dollars in my hand Up to Lexington 1-2-5 So sick and dirty, more dead than alive I'm waiting for the man Waiting for the man To welcome me home
