Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're going far away again?
Try to change it
Can't take the lonely nights without your love
I'm doing the road
To get the music done
And move along
What good does it do
To play your songs for her?
And hear her say
Once again
"Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're going far away again?
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights without your love"
Rolling along
Life's been good to you, but even so
She comes to you
Late at night's the time you hear her say
Once again
"Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're going far away again?
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights without your love"
I'm waiting for you
30 days and nights without a rest
I've got to hold on
25 to go and once again
Lord, I'll hear her say
Hey
"Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're going far away again?
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights without your love"
"Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're going far away again?
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights
Without you, love"
