Liza's painting her face,
she's getting ready to pray
Her hair stands so damn high
that it's even in God's way
All the boys are waiting on Liza
Someone's gonna be the lucky one
to make the lies of their wife
Some are waiting on something,
yeah, something to arrive
Some believe that it came and went
but some believe it's still on the rise
I don't know if Jesus is coming
or y 'all just are waiting to die
But whatever it is you know right now,
something between you and I
Jill in a long black dress
Moon shining through the window, yes,
and they're acting at their best
since they hit the top of the world
They can't even stand one another,
Some are waiting on something,
yes, to disappear that they despise
and some say it's hard to hide
I don't know if what you want
is gonna leave you, 'all,
there's something between you and I
The wind, it's been howlin'
It's been rainin' here for a week
The Mis sissippi has come right up
And swallowed up the streets
I'm gonna get me a rollin' boat
And I'm a -rollin' to the next town
I don't know if it's the weatherman
Some are waitin' on somethin', yes,
Some believe that it stands right here,
some say it's on the other side
I don't know if you're feel
or you're just believin' a lie
But whatever it is you know right now,
there's somethin' between
Twain's waitin' on the ace of spades
He'll give him a full damn boat
He'll have a pocket full of money
and a new shine on his shoe
He'll go off and find sweet Liza
yet know what she's gonna do
You know that Ace never fell
and Twain went down the road
You know Jack got rid of Jill
and some things don't work very well
I don't know if you've got it all
or you need something little
Some are waiting on something,
yeah, something to arrive
Some believe that it's in the air
And some believe that luck will shine
And you're all just waiting to die
There's something between you and I
