Letra Waiting For The Whistle de Jackie Greene original

She said this town is killing me
all I remember are a thousand faces
I was blind but now I see
just give me some time child, and I’ll take you places
far away from here

she said roses don’t mean a thing
I said I’ll have to disagree
she said she don’t want no diamond ring
I just want you to be close by me now

and there ain’t nothing to explain
we’re all just waiting for the whistle to blow
and there ain’t no way she’s gonna chain my horses
not when she’s waiting for the whistle to blow

she said the scenery is all the same
I’m sick and tired of this drugstore living
I said it’s a low-down dirty shame
you never get back what you’re giving

she said I was born to die alone
I said I’ll have to disagree
she said there ain’t no time to be wrong
so come inside boy and waste your love
on me

and there ain’t nothing to explain
we’re all just waiting for the whistle to blow
and there ain’t no way she’s gonna chain my horses
not when she’s waiting for the whistle to blow
