[Verse 1: Renn Anderson]
They say that I'm the king of California
They tip their hats and wave, but hey don't say I didn't warn ya
'Cause with the other hand they'll clinch their fist
And when you turn your back they'll stab and twist
It's the life that we must live when we find fortune
There's a pocket watch in the jacket on my shoulder
I feel it's weight as time goes by and I keep on getting older
I reach for gold to place my bet
Brush past the half-toked cigarette
It's a lonely life inside my head
But still I'm hanging on
[Chorus: Renn Anderson]
I keep waiting
Waiting all along for you to cave-in
Admit that you were wrong for all you gave me
Oh for all my pride you were the fall of me
You owe me an apology
[Verse 2: Renn Anderson]
I've done some things I ain't to proud to say
And there's a God above who'll come to judge but whats His hurry anyway?
See we've all got scars that prove our test
You either walk away or you get left
I remember every word you said
And now still I'm hanging on
[Chorus: Renn Anderson]
I just keep waiting
Waiting all along for you to cave-in
Admit that you where wrong for all you
Gave me
I swear for all my pride you were the fall of me
You owe me an apology
[Verse 3: Renn Anderson]
I walked a hundred miles in a day
I climbed a mountain staked my flag and I watched it fly away
See heaven has no time for this man's crooked games or politic
It's a lovers war, a takers gift
And it all gets washed away
[Chorus: Renn Anderson]
And still I'm waiting
Waiting all along for you to cave-in
Admit that you were wrong for all you've gave me
I swear for all my pride you were the fall of me
And I am here I just keep waiting
Waiting all along for you to cave-in
Admit that you were wrong for all you gave me
Well fuck my pride
Oh you were the fall of me
You owe me an apology
Yeah you owe me an apology
