Bidin' My Time
Black Diamond Heavies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause that's the kinda guy I'm
While other folks grow dizzy
I keep busy
Bidin' my time.
Next year, next year,
Somethin's bound to happen,
I'll just keep on nappin'
And bidin' my time
Cause that's the kinda guy I'm.
There's no regrettin'
When I'm settin'
Bidin' my time.

Its only when we say goodbye
When seem to be most all the time
Lord, I feel so lost and blind
I wish I would've said what was on my mind
And I wonder why we gotta roam
Why we gotta be such rollin' stones
Getting by the telephone
And leave a message,no ones home,
And say,baby you remember when
I missed my train
in Parago
I's all passed out on the wrong side of the train
And I took a wrong turn
Up in Williamsburg
I guess I zigged
All along I should 've zagged
Baby, I'm just biding my time
I'm lookin' for signs, Honey, I'm just trying to find my way
That leads back to you
Well, Baby, I reckon I'll go back home
Down in Tennesee
Find a safe place
Hide from all my friends,
Sit around and wonder
If you're even thinkin' of me
Am I just a fool
That's dancin' solo out on this limb?
Baby, I'm just biding my time
I'm lookin' for signs, Honey, I'm just trying to find my way
That leads back to you
Hey!
I'm gonna call you, Honey,
Just as soon as we land...
