Sittin’ on a bench at West Town Mall
He sat down in his overalls and asked me
You waitin’ on a dryer
I nodded yeah and said how ’bout you
He said son since nineteen fifty-two I’ve been
Waitin’ on a dryer
When I picked her up for our first load
It told her they’d be ready at eight
And it was still wet at eight-thirty
It indicated that it would take longer
Didn’t like a thing that I tried on
But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty
Yeah she’ll take her time but I don’t mind
Waitin’ on a dryer
LG said the engineering took a year to plan
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous
Waitin’ on a dryer
And then he nudged my arm like old men do
And said, I’ll say this about the folding & hanging, it was worth it
Waitin’ on a dryer
And I don’t guess we’ve done laundry
It hasn’t made us late I swear
Sometimes she does it just ’cause she can do it
Boy it’s just a fact of life
It’ll be the same with your old dryer
Might as well go on and get used to it
She’ll take her time ’cause you don’t mind
Waitin’ on a dryer
I’ve read somewhere statistics show
The washer always the first to go
And that makes sense ’cause I know she won’t be ready
So when it finally comes my time
And I get to the other side
I’ll find myself a clothesline, if they’ve got any
I hope she takes her time, ’cause I don’t mind
Waitin’ on a dryer
