Wait On What You Want

I walked out in the big city
Just to get myself straight
Passin' all the prettiest people
That keep an old country day
Walk into a lady's house and she was so tired
She didn't know what to do
Got all my papers and jumped on the bird
My daddy's words rang true
My father said:

Wait on what you want
Wait on what you need
Wait on what you thinkin' about
But go on and do your deed

Goin' out in the Northeast one more time?
Fifteen minutes gunnin' from Montreal
It was rainin' and cold and though I tried hard
Couldn't understand me at all
Finally found me three hours later, people
Took me to a hotel

But my daddy said if I was still alive some time
I would be doin' well
He said, told me, he said:

Wait on what you want
Wait on what you need
Wait on what you thinkin' about
But go on and do your deed

Now I been in your city
'Bout three or four days
My bed was so cold and lonely
'Cause my lady was so far away
Finally found me someone she was so sweet and kind
Made me feel alright
My Montreal darlin' is outta sight
But you know, she really turned on the light
You got to:

Wait on what you want
Wait on what you need
Wait on what you thinkin' about
But go on and do your deed
