I'm waitin' for the man
26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, one-two-five
Feel sick and dirty, baby, barely alive
I'm waitin' for the man
Hey, white boy, hey, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Pardon me, sir, it's the furthest from my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waitin' for the man
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waitin' for the man
Up to a brownstone, up 20 flights of stairs
Anybody could kill you, and nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
Then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I'm waitin' for the man
Baby, don't you holler, darlin', don't you bawl and shout
Feeling good, we're gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, feeling so fine
Until tomorrow, baby, that's some other time
I'm waitin' for the man
Walk it home
