I said to the river running through my heart
You got a long way to go until the water hard
Come the clouds rollin' in and all the people hide
They say run run baby to the sunny side

I said to the preacher standing at my door
Why you chasin' a rainbow when you got a star?
He said you're gonna be sorry if you open that lid
I said it's too late daddy I already did

Oh Oh don't wait up for me
Oh oh cuz you ain't gonna like what you see
No no no

(Don't Wait Up)
(Don't Wait Up)

I looked at the clock and it was quarter to twelve
I started counting the minutes to the freedom bell
I said the midnight hour is gonna take me home
And today's sorry will be here no more
I said

Oh Oh don't wait up for me
Oh oh cuz you ain't gonna like what you see
No no no
Oh Oh don't wait up for me
Oh oh cuz you ain't gonna like what you see
No no no
Oh Oh don't wait up for me
Oh oh cuz you ain't gonna like what you see
No no no
Oh Oh don't wait up for me
Oh on cuz you ain't gonna like what you see
No no no

(Don't Wait Up) oh no
(Don't Wait Up)
(Don't Wait Up)
