Lyrics
Waitin' On 5
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Underneath a car, turnin' on a wrench
Out there on a farm fixin' that fence
It's like watchin' your team while you sit on the bench
Waitin' on 5 to start on 6
Out in the summer in the AC
Two hours left when the hand's at 3
If you want an overtime, sorry I'm sick
Waitin' on 5 to start on 6
Everybody watchin' that tick-tock-tick
The slower it goes the closer it gets
We'll be crackin' and a-poppin' and a-givin' it a twist
Waitin' on 5 to start on 6
Hey-hey, alright
Yeah we're gonna have a little party tonight
Hey-hey, alright
Sippin' and kissing somebody tonight
Sunday night comes and I'm getting depressed
Monday morning blues and my head is a mess
Friday rolls around and I'm getting that itch
Waitin' on 5 to start on 6
Everybody watchin' that tick-tock-tick
The slower it goes the closer it gets
We'll be crackin' and a-poppin' and a-givin' it a twist
Waitin' on 5 to start on 6, hey!
(Hey, son)
(Listen to me here)
I'd rather dig in a cooler man than dig in a ditch
I'm sick and damn tired of bein' somebody's bitch
I've been a-workin' all day, 'bout time to quit
Waitin' on 5 to start on 6
Everybody watchin' that tick-tock-tick
The slower it goes the closer it gets
We'll be crackin' it, a-poppin' it, a-givin' it a twist
Waitin' on 5 to start on 6, uh
Waitin' on 5
Waitin' on 5
Waitin' on 5 when it's time to quit
Waitin' on 5
Waitin' on 5
Waitin' on 5, it gets started on 6
Everybody watchin' that tick-tock-tick
The slower it goes the closer it gets
We'll be crackin' it, a-poppin' it, a-givin' it a twist
Waitin' on 5 to start on 6
Hey-hey, alright
Doing our time till it's time to quit
Hey-hey, alright
Waitin' on 5 to get started on 6
