Song Lyrics

Listen to old John
Goin' on and on
About his glory days
But then the ball slips
Through his finger tips
The seconds tick away

That's one football game
He'd love to replay

Then there's Ruby Jean
Well she can really sing
But she's stuck in this bar
She thinks some big wheel
Out of Nashville
Will come and make her a star

But who am I to talk
I'm the worst of them all

[Chorus]
I'm the king of wasted time
Night after night
I spend wishing that you were still mine

Just look at me now
With my royal crown
In this place again
I'm still missing you
I'm still wishing you
Would come walking in

And I'd get that second chance
Of changing my past

[Chorus]

There's no bigger fool
Than a lonely fool
Ya, a dreamer who
Still waits for you

I'm the king of waste time
Night after night
I spend wishing that you were still mine

John goes on and on
Ruby sings her song
And you're still gone.

Tony Martin, Tom Shapiro, Jim Collins
