Roger Daltrey - Waiting for a Friend lyrics

(Billy Nicholls)

If I fell in a lake

Would you dive in or stand there and gape

And if I drowned, would you jump

Or would you let the water burst in my lungs

Well a stranger in the street

Maybe the only one on his knees

When your laying by the roadside

Waiting for a friend to come.

Got my hopes

Got my doubts

My gut reaction say's I got to find out

Who's against, who to trust

Ooh you never know but I might get killed in the rush

But a stranger in the street

Maybe the only one on his knees

When your laying by the roadside

Waiting for a friend to come.

You laugh you think it's a joke

Just stand there grinning

Will you be there at the post

When I aint winning.

Hey, black or white

Good and bad

How many times have I done this and done that

Every life

Everyone

If I knew that I'd probley take out a gun

But it's mother natures law

To get you coming back for more

Just stand laying by the roadside

Waiting for a friend to come.

You laugh you think it's a joke

Just stand there grinning

Will you be there at the post

When I aint winning.

Hey, black or white

Good and bad

How many times have I done this and done that

Every life

Everyone

If I knew that I'd probley take out a gun

But it's mother natures law

To get you coming back for more

Just stand laying by the roadside

Waiting for the end to come.

Laying by the roadside

Waiting for a friend to come.
