Well I left my friends in Harlem
Just to join the Rodeo
Well you just stood there laughing
Sayin’ I don’t love you any more
And in the betting bars in Austin
By the drag race’ winding road
And the sundown stood besotted
In a world you didn’t know
Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun
Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun
Through the family fairs and gardens
All across the Alamo
And the fields of the forgotten
Sailors and lost souls
And the sugar cane plantation
And the burned tobacco smoke
And the rusty porch door swinging
As he swigs from the bottle
Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun
Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun
Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun
Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun
