Worth The Wait

It's the grape snow cone after practice
Or the money comin' back when you're through with all your taxes
It's watchin' that molasses
Slowly make its way down to the plate

It's lookin' for that rainbow when it's stormin'
It's trynna stay asleep when you know it's Christmas mornin'
It's standin' at the finish line
Prayin' that the turtle wins the race

It's the homemade banana bread bakin' in the oven
It's a little bit of daylight at the end of too much nothin'
I don't mind a-killin' time forever and a day
I'll be park bench sittin'
Andy Griffith whistlin'
Knowing all that while
It's worth the wait

It's breaking out the bottle you've been saving,
It's catching up with that old friend you haven't seen in ages
It's easin' off the breaks
once you finally get your hands upon the wheel

It's getting in the game in that last quarter
It's reeling in the big one after four hours on the water
It's working up the nerve
To tell her just exactly how you feel

It's the homemade banana bread bakin' in the oven
It's a little bit of daylight at the end of too much nothin'
I don't mind a-killin' time forever and a day
I'll be park bench sittin'
Andy Griffith whistlin'
Knowing all that while
It's worth the wait

It's knowin' that you'll be here in the summer
It's findin' out your tiny eyes look just like your mother's
It's watchin all that wonder
Wellin' up inside your little brain
It's given up the keys to my old Chevy
It's trustin' that you'll come back home
When you get good and ready
It's every mile up ahead
And every twist and turn along the way

It's the homemade banana bread bakin' in the oven
It's a little bit of daylight at the end of too much nothin'
I don't mind a-killin' time forever and a day
I'll be park bench sittin'
Andy Griffith whistlin'
Two thumb twiddlin'
Old stick widdlin'
Knowing all that while
It's worth the wait
