LAME EXCUSE

I spent my time waiting on glory—the coming of a promised day.
Now I set my sights just a little bit lower and take what comes my way.
Yeah like a snake in the grass—the early bird gets the worm.
So I’ll eat my hat for Sunday brunch and teach the lessons I’ve learned.

What’re you waiting for—what’s your lame excuse?
Yeah I’ve got mine but I’m not sharing—’cause it’s currently in use.

It’s a waste of time to sit and worry or pace your life away.
‘Cause back and forth just makes you dizzy and tired at the end of
the day.
An old hawk by the side of the road—never works hard for its meals.
It watches traffic from an old sign post and cleans up after the wheels.

What’re you waiting for—what’s your lame excuse?
Yeah I’ve got mine but I’m not sharing—’cause it’s currently in use.
It’s not much but it’s been working and it’s my lame excuse.

I spent my time waiting on glory—the coming of a promised day.
Now I set my sights just a little bit lower and take what comes my way.

What’re you waiting for—what’s your lame excuse?
Yeah I’ve got mine but I’m not sharing—’cause it’s currently in use.
It’s not much but it’s been working and it’s my lame excuse.
It’s not much but it’s been working and it’s my lame excuse.
