I'm waiting for the man
26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 1-2-5
So sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for the man
Hey white boy, what you doin' in town?
Hey white boy, chasin' all the women around
Ooh, pardon me, sir, now it's the last thing on my mind
Well, I'm just looking for a good friend of mine
I'm waiting for the man
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
Real shoes, a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is that you've always gotta wait
I'm waiting for the man
Damn
Great dirty building with three flights of stairs
Nobody stops you 'cause nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
But then you've gotta split because you've got no time to waste
I'm waiting for the man
Baby, don't you holler
Darlin', don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling so fine
Until tomorrow but that's just another time
I'm waiting for the man
I'm waiting for the man
26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 1-2-5
So sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for the man
Waiting for the man
Waiting for the man
Waiting for the man
