Waitin' For You

I never dreamed it could be, a someone made just for me
 And I'm letting her have her way
 I'm here to see what she has to say
 Aw, the poor girl always wins the day
 I'm stayin' ahead of the game, and she's a-doin' the same
 And the whiskey flyin' into my head
 The fiddler's arm has gone dead
 And talk is beginning to spread
 When did our love go bad?
 Whatever happened to the best friend that I had
 It's been so long since I held you tight
 Been so long since we said goodnight
 The taste of tears is bittersweet
 When you're near me, my heart forgets to beat
 You're there every night, among the good and the true
 And I'll be around waitin' for you
 Well, the king of them all is starting to fall
 I lost my girl at the boatman's ball
 The night has a thousand hearts and eyes
 Hope may vanish, but it never dies
 I'll see you tomorrow when freedom rings
 I'm gonna stay on top of things
 It's the middle of summer and the moon is blue
 And I'll be around waitin' for you
 Another deal gone down, another man done gone
 You put up with it all and you carry on
 Something holding you back, but you'll come through
 I'd bet the world and everything in it on you
 Happiness is but a state of mind
 Anytime you want, you can cross the state line
 You don't need to be rich or well-to-do
 I'll be around, waitin' for you
