Waitin' On a Woman

Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall
 He sat down in his overalls and asked me
 "You waitin' on a woman?"
 I nodded, yeah and said, "How 'bout you"
 He said, "Son since 1952 I've been waitin' on a woman"
 "And when I picked her up for our first date
 I told her, I'd be there at eight"
 And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty
 She said, "I'm sorry that I took so long
 Didn't like a thing that I tried on"
 But let me tell you son, she sure looked pretty
 Yeah, she'll take her time, but I don't mind

 He said the weddin' took a year to plan
 You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous
 And waitin' on a woman
 And then he nudged my arm like old men do
 And said, "I'll say this 'bout the honeymoon, it was worth it
 Waitin' on a woman"
 And I don't guess we've been anywhere
 She hasn't made us late I swear
 Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it
 Boy, it's just a fact of life
 It'll be the same with your young wife
 Might as well go on and get used to it
 She'll take her time 'cause you don't mind

 I've read somewhere statistics show
 The man's always the first to go
 And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be ready
 So when it finally comes my time
 And I get to the other side
 I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any
 I hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mind

 Honey, take your time, 'cause I don't mind
