And the Grand Canyon is deep and wide
 There's a whole lot of livin' that I wanna do
 But I'd rather see the world from your point of view

 I didn't go to Memphis to see the king
 Or ride the Mississippi down to New Orleans
 I could've found someone to give my love to
 But I've been waiting for you

 I've got a little money stashed away
 Just sittin' on ready for a rainy day
 Anticipating escaping with you
 Doin' all the crazy things that I didn't do

 I didn't go to Memphis to see the king
 Or ride the Mississippi down to New Orleans
 I could've found someone to give my love to
 But I've been waiting for you

 Oh, no I didn't wanna settle for
 Just settlin' down
 I was lookin' for the right one, baby
 And that's what I've found

 I didn't go to Memphis to see the king
 Or ride the Mississippi down to New Orleans
 I could've found someone to give my love to
 But I've been waiting for you

 I've been waiting for you
