Don't Waste Time

Stalled out in my Momma's driveway
You said 'Baby, love moves fast.'
When mMomma cut her eyes at you
You grabbed my hand, & gave it the gas

Oh, you held my heart
In the nest of your hands
Two months wages
And a pawn shop wedding band

Why don't you bring back
all you have that's mine
We'll give it a shine
And I ain't thinkin' right
So don't waste time
I'm waiting outside
My heart is waiting
Waiting, waiting
No place to hide

I started thinking 'bout a baby
But I know just what you'll say
Watch my pill roll down the drainpipe
And I pray, Lord, I pray
'Cause your skin against mine
Could be your cheek or you fist
I'm thinking that a child might
Fix all of this

'Cause I string minutes into hours
And I worry, Lord I worry them away

I try to start a conversation
That could lead straight to the truth
I'm sure in four or five months
You'll fall in love with our child too
But your skin against mine
Could be your cheek or you fist
Lord, how can I bring a baby into this

Why don't you bring back
all you have that's mine
We'll give it a shine
And I ain't thinkin' right
So don't waste time
I'm waiting outside
My heart is waiting
Waiting, waiting
No place to hide

I good the Greyhound
All the way out to Padre
Then back to you again
I emptied out the suitcase
Packed 'er up,
And put your gold watch in
'Cause when the baby cries
I fear she'll take my place
The pull of your arms
Is a shadow on my face

When I string minutes into hours
Just to worry, just to worry them away
