lyrics

Got all of his records at home in a stack
I still think his best effort was "Blood on the Tracks"
He made me a promise, I know it sounds strange
But I guess I'm still waiting for the times to change

The line it was drawn, the battle did rage
But now the rebels drive Hummers and self medicate
And sleep while the furniture gets re-arranged
Guess I'm still waiting for the times to change

Pour me a strong one, let it flow through my veins
Got to get a little sideways before I see straight
And I'll hum an old number the jukebox won't play
Guess I'm still waiting for the times to change

In one fiery moment the whole world was undone
The tears that we shed ran together as one
But the king thought it better to launch a crusade
Guess I'm still waiting for the times to change

Pour me a strong one, let it flow through my veins
Got to get a little sideways before I see straight
And I'll hum an old number the jukebox won't play
Guess I'm still waiting for the times to change

The waters did rise and the swimmin' commensed
But the king in his row boat did not take offense
To the cries of the weary just out of range
I hear they're still waiting for the times to change

Pour me a strong one, let it flow through my veins
Got to get a little sideways before I see straight
And I'll hum an old number the jukebox won't play
Guess I'm still waiting for the times to change

Got all of his records at home in a stack
I still think his best effort was "Blood on the Tracks"
He made me a promise, I know it sounds strange
But I guess I'm still waiting for the times to change
