[Verse 1]
Em C Eastern side of Lookout Mountain G D Had a long night on the streets of Golden Em C Twenty degrees and he's looking down at the world G D Writes a farewell to his long-lost girls Em C Can't say it, but he's sorry for the childhood that they lost G D Served his own means and his family paid the cost Em C Writes that he's made his way back south G D What he wouldn't give to show them what he sees now
[Chorus]
Em C Waiting, waiting for the sun to rise G D It's like he's been waiting his whole life Em C His own fault it's been such a cold night G D Now mercy's telling him it's gonna be alright Em C He's seeing truth for the first time G D Waiting, waiting for the sun to rise

[Verse 2]
Em C His girls wed, have kids in Carolina G D To those two young boys, he's in the past behind them Em C So many things he's out of time to say G D A burden of regret driving him to the grave Em C Couple time zones away, the dawn of a hopefilled life G D He'll miss it all, it's the end of his night
[Chorus]
Em C Waiting, waiting for the sun to rise G D It's like he's been waiting his whole life Em C His own fault it's been such a cold night G D Now mercy's telling him it's gonna be alright Em C He's seeing truth for the first time G D Waiting, waiting for the sun to rise
