Additional lyrics by Tom Jones
Well, the way is dark
The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting at the end of the road
Well, the stars may not shine
And neither the moon
What the heck, do I want the moon?
I'm waiting at the end of the road
Well, you can jump in my car
And give it the gas
Pull out the front, don't give me no sass
I get your foot stompin' it on the floor
When you get ahead we gon' rock some more
Well, the way is dark
The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting for you
At the end of the road
Well, you can jump in my car
And give it the gas
Put back the front, don't give me no sass
I get your foot stompin' it on the floor
When you get ahead we gon' rock some more
Well, the way is dark
The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting for you
At the end of the road
Well, I'm waiting, waiting,
Waiting at the end of the road
