Waiting In The City tells the story of a young, single mom living in the Mid-West. It speaks of her life there, her dreams and of a man patiently waiting to help her change everything for the better.

Country music's playing softly on her radio
No sunrise in the heartland - just a gently fallin' snow
She wants to pull the covers up and drift back to her dreams
But there are little ones to tend to and promises to keep
And I'll be waiting here in the city
I'll be waiting in the city
Last night up in Saint Robert at the Rockin' R Saloon
The same familiar faces - nothin' much is new
She listens to the music and she's laughing with her friends
But thoughts of places far away are always drifting in
And I'll be waiting here in the city
I'll be waiting in the city
She's got so many blessings to be thankful for
But she knows there's something missing - she knows there must be more
Sometimes she gets so tired waiting for the day
When some fine man will come along and he will never stray
And I'll be wating here in the city
I'll be waiting in the city
There's something she can do about
All the things that she's the most without
And when she does I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting in the city
She wonders where all the time has gone as summer rolls around again
Takes her kids out for a drive and a swim at Bennett Spring
It's a damn good life for sure but not as good as it could be
And she dreams 'bout all those places she might never see
And I'll be waiting here in the city
I'll be waiting in the city
Yes I am waiting here in the city
Hope she comes home soon to the city
