Wait by the Door Lyrics by Filthy Thieving Bastards

A Melody of Retreads and Broken Quills

2001

I'm always all alone some weekday night and on the road
With high beams in my face and on my back
The others out in drunken dreams of silence slipping out
To hear the radio blast some stupid song
People by the door, it's there for one reason, one alone
It's there to greet me when you see me coming home
People by the door, it's there for one reason, one alone
It's there to greet me when you see me coming home
As long as I'm away from you my petty wage keeps coming through
Insults what I'm supposedly worth
Sometimes they crucify me, other times they're there to love me
Either way I keep rolling along
People by the door, it's there for one reason, one alone
It's there to greet me when you see me coming home
People by the door, it's there for one reason, one alone
It's there to greet me when you see me coming home
The people at the door, there for one reason, one alone
They're to greet me when it's time to carry on
And when it's done, another night has come and gone
And soon I'll meet you, baby please wait by the door
