From the recording Ballad Hunter
"Waiting on That Sweet One of Mine" is a mix of blues and country vibes, recorded with a mostly fingerstyle feel on Louise, 1929 National Triolian guitar. I wrote this song to capture that all-too-familiar feeling of waiting for someone special. It’s like a gumbo of excitement and nerves, all stirred together.
The lyrics say it all: "Hand in a pocket, stand like I got nothing but time." It’s about those moments where you’re just counting the minutes as they drag by, hoping and waiting. It’s all about that mix of longing and love, and the patience that comes with it.
Lyrics
Hand in a pocket
Stand like
I got nothing but time
Counting the minutes
As they drag on by
Waiting on that sweet one of mine
Shuffle in place
Keep moving to shake
That feeling I can’t outrun
Counting the minutes
As they drag on by
Waiting on that sweet one of mine
Sunshine and laughter
Dance in my dreams
That decorate the corners
Of my mind
Know she’ll appear
In her own sweet time
So I’ll wait on that sweet one of mine
