The Day You Wait Forever

They say life is freedom But they came to waste my time Overstate the obvious While demanding all my dimes When you're searching for the bottom I've already left the port And the day you wait forever Is the day I'll reach the shore I've been working for a pocket Filled with only empty hands Trying to live the fantasy Of owning homes and land Momma said to try your hardest Now my body's old and sore So the day you wait forever Is the day they'll raise my score Reminisce about the days we used to have While we waited for our turn up in the sun All our lives were spent just trying to get by Now that time is gone Now it's time to run To the corner for some liquor Or a quicker path away Hide inside a bottle As your life just falls away And you might make it till morning But then you'll face the sun For the day you wait forever Is the day your light is gone 10:30 moves to midnight And the hours move along You'll be out there waiting For a light that never comes When I'm walking through your doorway To the life I've always known On the day you wait forever I ain't ever coming home
