Text: John Hiatt. I Can't Wait.

Tonight I'm howlin' at a foreign moon
Might as well be a Junkie's spoon
For all the light it's given me
Sinkin' in my misery

It's been forty days and forty nights
Darlin' since I held you tight
I walk the desert of my dreams
I got to get out of here before I scream

Too much take off, too much landin'
No such love, no understandin'

I can't wait, baby till you're by my side
I can't wait, baby though you know I've tried
I can't wait, baby just one more ride
I can't wait till you're by my side

Could you crawl through your telephone?
Girl, I'm so tired of bein' alone
I'm talkin' to walls in my hotel room
Around the world in a sonic boom

Some close calls and some near misses
All I want is your sweet soul kisses

I can't wait, baby till you're by my side
I can't wait, though you know I've tried
I can't wait, I'm just one more ride
Girl, I can't wait until' you're by my side

For all the noise on my hometown street
Little children playin' at my feet
Well, I would give my soul to be
Back in your arms in Tennessee

Too much take off, too much landin'
No such love, no understandin'

I can't wait, baby till you're by my side
I can't wait just to know I've tried
I can't wait just one more ride
I can't wait, can't wait
Baby, till you're by my side

I can't wait, baby till you're by my side
I can't wait though you know I've tried
I can't wait just one more ride
I can't wait until' you're by my side
