Waiting on Zack

Lyrics

[Verse]
Well, we're waiting on Zack again this mornin',
Sun's already high, sky is blue.
Coffee's cold, toast is gettin' boring,
He's in the bathroom, nothin' new.

[Verse 2]
Old truck's engine, it's idle hummin',
Front porch creaks with every sway.
Out on the farm, critters start a-runnin',
Zack's got us waitin' another day.

[Chorus]
Oh, Zack, when you gonna be through?
We've got fields to plow and cattle to shoe.
The whole darn town is wonderin' too,
Boy, it seems forever, what you gotta do.

[Verse 3]
Roosters crowed and the sun keeps climbin',
Clock keeps tickin', time don’t fly.
Fence needs mendin', it's hard timin'
When Zack’s in there for days gone by.

[Bridge]
The moths are disappearin', dusk's a-fallin',
Lanterns lit, chores done in vain.
Even the dogs have stopped their callin',
Still waitin' on Zack, in the land of grain.

[Verse 4]
Momma’s bakin', pies in the oven,
Sweet smell fills the kitchen air.
Dad’s readin’ news, daily dozen,
No one moves, but throws a stare.
