Six-pack of something, bottle of pills Got to be a better way to get my thrills Lord you know sometime livin' ain't hardly enough Not when you're waitin' on a sign from Heaven above.
Lyin' round the house wastin' sleep all day Everything I wanted keeps slippin' away What Can I do when my time flies like a dove Won't come back without a sign from Heaven above.
This nine-to-five work is giving me the blues Wanna get my picture on the six-o'clock news Oh pretty baby, maybe I ain't got the stuff But I can't make a move without a sign from Heaven above.
I found me a lover, she's six-foot-three Everybody says she's better looking than me What can I say, I guess I'm only lucky in love Lord it helps pass time when you're waiting on Heaven above.
Bar full of strangers, fifty-cent beer God Almighty what am I doin' here Always end up on the floor when push comes to shove, Can't pick myself up without a sign from Heaven above.
But I gotta write it down, make everything right Goin' to a party on Saturday night Me oh my, what on Earth was I thinking of Time rolls by when you're waiting on Heaven above. Yeah, life rolls by when you're waiting on Heaven above.
