Lyrics

(Steve azar)

We're supposed to start work down on the river today
And for joe and me, it's some pretty good pay
Now, I was countin' on him
To be at the dock by ten
A week's pay says he's still at home
'Cause the boy's in his own time zone

I'm a waitin' on joe, whaddya know
Time flies fast and he is slower than a....
I told him over and over: "now don't you be late."
Ah, but like always
I'm just sittin' on go
And waitin' on joe
Yeah

Towboat's a leavin' 'cause it don't care
What's not on board and who's not there
Once that whistle blows
Down the mighty river it rolls
Man if I could be more like that
I'd get on with my life and never look back

Instead of waitin' on joe, whaddya know
Time flies fast and he is slower than a....
I told him over and over: "now don't you be late."
Ah, but like always
I'm just sittin' on go
And waitin' on joe
Waitin' on joe

And he's in a hurry
'Cause he's runnin' behind
Now I'm not one to worry
But I've got a real bad feeling this time
Oh, oh, oh, whoa

'Cause sirens are crying all through this town
And one old boy said joe never slowed down
It was that 12 o'clock train
So he didn't feel a thing
Lord,. I believe that my brother's all right
Still I'm prayin' he'll just give me a sign

Yeah, I'm a-waitin' on joe, whaddya know
Time flies fast and he is slower than a....
I told him over and over: "now don't you be late."
Ah, but like always
I'm just sittin' on go
And waitin' on joe
Waitin' on joe
