She never gave a reason for leaving Just packed her things and said goodbye I guess she just got tired of believing In the dreams of a dreamer such as I Usually I m not left in this position Most the time it's me who says goodbye You never dropped a hint that you're going Naturally it came as a surprise Sittin in a run down dive in Austin Anticipating pain from losing you Well it hasn't hit me yet It'll be here you can bet I'm sitting here Waitin on the blues I hate to get advice when I don't ask it It's what I m getting here tonight The old man says cause I'm young I'm foolish Since he's old I guess he must be right Said I should try to forget about you I know that's not left for me to choose Who knows you might come back but until you do Guess I'll sit here waitin' on the blues Sittin in a run-down dive in Austin This old man s tellin me that I can't lose But I guess he s wrong Cause I already lost you Oh I'm sitting here Waitin on the blues SOLO Sittin in a run-down dive in Austin You left me here with nothing left to lose This delayed misery You know it s damn near killing me I can spend a lifetime waiting on the blues I can spend a lifetime waiting on the blues
