[Verse 1] You got your boots by the back door Keys hangin’ on that same old nail You keep sayin’ that you’re leavin’ But you never get around to the trail Sun’s droppin’ past the silo Sky’s turnin’ that Friday gold You can ride this night beside me Or stay stuck in the same old hold [Chorus] What are you waitin’ for The night’s wide open, the truck’s in gear What are you waitin’ for Your heart’s packed up, it’s standin’ right here If you’ve been prayin’ for a sign Honey, I’m standin’ at your door With a half-tank dream and a full-heart grin So what are you waitin’ for [Verse 2] You say love’s just trouble You’ve had your share of crash and burn But we’ve been two chairs on this front porch Watchin’ every season turn Hear that old dog start barkin’ Neighbors laughin’ down the lane Life’s hummin’ like a jukebox Callin’ out your name [Chorus] What are you waitin’ for The night’s wide open, the truck’s in gear What are you waitin’ for Your heart’s packed up, it’s standin’ right here If you’ve been prayin’ for a sign Honey, I’m standin’ at your door With a half-tank dream and a full-heart grin So what are you waitin’ for [Bridge] We could chase that county line Windows down, hair all wild (come on) Or sit here watchin’ seconds Steal the sparkle from your smile I ain’t askin’ for forever Just a dance out on that floor One yes, one step One more [Instrumental Break] [Saxophone riff answers last word of Bridge] [Harmonica echoing sax phrase, brighter and higher] [Guitar replies with a bending, singing line] [Sax and harmonica trade two-bar licks, playful back-and-forth] [Short melodic guitar solo tying the theme together] [Chorus] What are you waitin’ for The band’s on fire and they called our song What are you waitin’ for Your feet are tappin’, you’ve been gone too long If you’ve been prayin’ for a sign Honey, I’m dancin’ toward your door With a two-step laugh and a come-on kiss So what are you waitin’ for [Outro] Yeah, I’m right here on this front porch Engine runnin’, heart in yours Door swung wide on a summer night So what are you waitin’ for (oh, what you waitin’ for)
