Lyrics:

Jimmy was waitin'' on Shelby JeanIn the parking lot at the Dairy QueenHe knew she''s gonna be there soonThen they''ll blow this townJust like a cheap balloonShe came in cryin'' this morning at the storeSaid, ''I swear Jimmy, I just can''t take no more''So, he quit his job and drew his payNow he''s helpin'' Shelby make her getawayOh... Sittin'' on goWaitin'' on sundownWaitin'' on sundownNo more beatin'' to be deniedNo more bruises that makeup can''t hideAll these years she tried to love that manBut all he ever gave herWas the back of his handNow, Jimmy is a young boyJust out of his teensSo many things that he still hasn''t seenBut he''s old enough to know wrong from rightThat''s why he''s helpin'' ShelbyMake a break tonightAnd oh... Sittin'' on goWaitin'' on sundownWaitin'' on sundownWaitin'' on sundownDrove all night, drove all dayJimmy listened to everything Shelby had to sayHow she''d suffered at her lover''s handHe said honey, I wanna change all that if I canThey pulled over to take a little restShelby put her head down on Jimmy''s chestAnd she could hear the beatin'' of his heartAnd it sounded like the rhythm of a brand new startAnd oh, she''s gonna let him knowShe''s waitin'' on sundownShe''s just waitin'' on sundownThey''re waitin'' on sundownWaitin'' on sundown
