Lyrics
I don't wait on no more tables
I'm waiting on the unemployment line
and i'll be here next week again 'bout this same old time
and i wonder if the people in front of me
lost their job in some gold mine
i don't wait on no more tables
I'm waiting on the unemployment line
so don't hurry up and find me a job
i wanna hang out for a while
sit back in my easy chair and exercise my smile
'cause soon I'll have to be moving
yeah, I'll know when it's time
I don't wait on no more tables
I'm waiting on the unemployment line
Now i suddenly feel so strange
my life has been rearranged
and the thing is I didn't have no control
but if that's the way it is
I can deal with it
and I won't have to go back ther anymore
I don't wait on no more tables
I'm waiting on the unemployment line
and I'll be here next week again 'bout this same old time
and I wonder if the people in front of me
lost their job in some gold mine
I don't wait on no more tables
I'm wating on the unemployment line.
