Lyrics
How Long Does a Woman Have to Wait? © 2013 Grant Maloy Smith She was barely twenty but so pretty that it ached Long hair and longer stares followed in her wake He was fixing cars and pumping gas out in the rain Not the best provider But she loved him all the same They dreamed of babies and a house out on route 9 They talked and talked until she thought she'd lose her mind How long does a woman have to wait does she have to wait? I'm like a saint to wait and wait for what is mine How long does a woman have to wait does she have to wait? That boy had better hurry up Or he'll find out when it's too late He was north of forty There were stories on his face Cleft chin and crooked grin But he fell out of grace She had given up Until her shopping cart found his Not the most romantic place But cupid is a kid They started talking and they found themselves in love The bells were ringing But that boy couldn't wake up How long does a woman have to wait does she have to wait? I'm like a saint to wait and wait for what is mine How long does a woman have to wait does she have to wait? That boy had better hurry up Or he'll find out when it's too late Instrumental How long does a woman have to wait does she have to wait? I'm like a saint to wait and wait for what is mine How long does a woman have to wait does she have to wait? That boy had better hurry up Or he'll find out... How long does a woman have to wait does she have to wait? I'm like a saint to wait and wait for what is mine How long does a woman have to wait does she have to wait? That boy had better hurry up Or he'll find out...
