Waitin for Some Girl by Ry Cooder Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I was robbed and I was framed
Whatever happens now ain't no fault of mine
I got born and I got blamed
I guess I should have read that detour sign

I took off, I hid out
Jesus promised me he'd show me a sign
Just take your little world and shove it up
You're askin' me buddy, I'm tellin' you friend
You ain't gonna pin that rap on me this time

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm waitin' for some girl
To pick me up on her way down
She'll know me in the suspect book
In the show-up line, in the lost and found

[Verse 2]
I got burned, I got fried
There's someone out there waitin' just for me
Dirty blond with dirty mind
We're goin' on a tri-state kill-spree
The pedal's down, the safety's off
Don't you try to take her love from me
I'm warnin' you, back out buddy
You ain't gonna steal her love from me this time

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm waitin' for some girl
To pick me up on her way down
I'm gonna get my money back
Startin' with the drug-store quack
That jerked me out and hit my back
And never shed a tear

[Bridge]
That old man's gonna be surprised
When he'll be cryin' through both his eyes
When I walk up and say the jerk's right here

[Verse 3]
Yeah we're rollin' through your town tonight
Skid marks on your face all right
When she picked me up on her way down
Come on, baby, pick me up

[Outro]
She picked me up
She picked me up
Well she picked me up
Ah picked me up
Ah picked me up
Picked me up on her way down
'Cause you picked me up
Ah she picked me up
