Wait a Minute

Alan Jackson · Like Red on a Rose [2006]

Wait a minute

Did I hear you say you're goin' far away again?

Try to change it

I can't take the lonely nights without your love.



Doin' the road

Get the music done, and move along.

What good does it do

To play your songs for her and hear her say.



Wait a minute

Did I hear you say you're goin' far away again?

Try to change it

I can't take the lonely nights without your love.



You're rollin' along

Life's been good to you and even so

She comes to you

Late at night sometimes you hear her sayin' once again.



Wait a minute

Did I hear you say you're goin' far away again?

Try to change it

I can't take the lonely nights without your love.



Wait a minute

Did I hear you say you're goin' far away again?

Try to change it

I can't take the lonely nights without your love.



Try to change it

I can't take the lonely nights without your love...
