Lyrics
1st VERSE:
LOST IN A SMALL TOWN
I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND MY WAY AROUND
I MET A GIRL JUST THE OTHER DAY
SHE KINDA TURNED ME UPSIDE DOWN
SHE SAID; WHAT'S YOU'RE HURRY BOY, CAN'T YOU STAY A FEW
CAUSE I'D LIKE TO REALLY GET TO KNOW YOU
WHY DON'T YOU COME OVER FOR SUPPER TONIGHT
I PROMISE I WON'T BITE
CHORUS:
AND I SAID...WAIT FOR ME BABY
I WON'T BE LONG
WAIT FOR ME BABY
I'M WHISTLING A SONG
2nd VERSE:
HER MAMA AND DADDY WERE THE GREATEST OF FOLKS
WE LAUGHED AND TALKED AND TOLD CORNY JOKES
AS THE NIGHT GOT SERIOUS, SO DID WE
AND I LEARNED ALL ABOUT HER FAMILY TREE
SHE SAID; I WAS BORN IN A BARN ABOUT A MILE FROM HERE
AND MY GRANDADDY MARCHED DOWN THE TRAIL OF STEERS
I'M AKIN TO BELLE STAR AND ROBERT E. LEE
AND MY ROOTS RUN DEEP THROUGH DIXIE
CHORUS:
AND I SAID...WAIT FOR ME BABY
I WON'T BE LONG
WAIT FOR ME BABY
I'M WHISTLING A SONG
bridge:
IF I HANG AROUND THIS TOWN TOO LONG I'LL NEVER LEAVE
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE
I CAN FINALLY BREATHE...
REPEAT CHORUS
