Waiting For My Truck
September 16, 2020
Great song from 1992. A lifetime (or two) ago. Love the lyric, "I learned something from my blue-eyed girl: sink or swim, you gotta give it a whirl."
When I was fourteen I was fallin' fast
For a blue-eyed girl in my homeroom class.
Tryin to find the courage to ask her out
Was like tryin' to get oil from a water spout.
What she would've said, I can't say.
I never did ask then she moved away.
I learned something from my blue-eyed girl:
sink or swim, you gotta give it a whirl.
[Chorus]
Life's a dance, you learn as you go.
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow.
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know,
life's a dance, you learn as you go.
The longer I live the more I believe
You do have to give if you wanna receive.
There's a time to listen, a time to talk.
And you might have to crawl even after you walk.
Had sure things blow up in my face,
Seen the longshot win the race.
Been knocked down by the slammin' door.
Picked myself up and came back for more.
[3x Chorus]
Life's a dance
Life's a dance
Life's a dance
Take a chance on love
Life's a dance
you learn as you go
