Around the bend

They say the good things come to those who wait.

And since I don't have a choice, baby I guess I'll wait.

But I never knew a Texas sky could be so cold.

And I never knew, that a young man could feel so old.

I never get to see what's waiting around the bend.

The only thing for sure, it's not what I hoped again!

And I don't think it's right, but I don't think it ever ends.

I never get to see around the bend.

They say where there's a will there's a way,

And it takes all my will, to carry on today.

'Cause I always knew the sun could burn you out.

And now I know for sure it's true beyond a doubt!

But I never knew what was waiting around the bend.

Oh no its not what I thought it would be again!

Tell me will this ever end?

When do I get what I want around the bend?

They say you can run, from everything but yourself.

no matter where you go, you wake up with yourself.

They say the good things come, to those who wait,

but I think that's a lie, 'cause we may not have time to wait!
