Gets me closer to you, yeah
But her father changed jobs and we cried together
Following Rita
What are you waitin' for? It's just a minute away
What are you waitin' for? It's just a minute away
I paid a man that talked as if he knew me
Well, the phone never was enough
And I could see it in his eyes
Elvis James McCabe, a future millionaire
What are you waitin' for? It's just a minute away
Now every mile that I drive away
He could help me on my way and get rich too
For us to hold on to
What are you waitin' for? It's just a minute away
Gig at night and she would go to some community school
He could tell that I was runnin' away
Following Rita, following Rita
He wrestled with his thoughts out loud
I'm travelin' light you might not want me to stay for the day
Travel light you might just find yourself there for the day
As her plane was flyin' away
What am I waitin' for? It's just a mile away
What are you waitin' for? It's just a minute away
Travel light you might just find yourself there for the day
There was talk about after high school I would get a job
And said for forty-five dollars
Stopped to make a call and picked up Elvis
What am I waitin' for? It's just a mile away
What are you waitin' for? It's just a minute away
Travel light you might just find yourself there for the day

About two girls that he left behind
