Lyrics

Every day they say this old world's a-changing
And it may be headed to a brighter shore
Or it might have gone to hell
It’s hard for me to tell
‘Cause the cable don’t reach my cabin door

It’s a quiet life I lead here in the mountains
No fear of information overflow
In the city they’re always
Going on the latest craze
But I’m waiting on these new things to go

CHORUS:
I’m waiting on these new things to go
And it ain’t gonna be much longer now I know
All the wonders of our time, they won’t touch me
I’m waiting on these new things to go

There’s a gadget now to tell you if it’s raining
One to get you mail from someone you don’t know
There’s pants too low to walk
There’s singers that just talk
God, I can’t wait for these new things to go

CHORUS

Yes, every day, this old world's a-changing
And a patient man won’t have to wait for long
A statesman or a star
A hemline or a car
And the brighter that they shine, the faster gone

And the kids tell me I can’t turn from the future
Well, if I must I’ll go there good and slow
Just strumming on this Martin box
And sipping on some old Scotch
And waiting on these new things to go

CHORUS
