Words and music by Andru Bemis

 E
I know there will come a day
               A
When I will throw these shoes away
 E
No more thumbing down the old highway
           B
Just trying to find a ride
       E
To heaven knows where I’ve been
         A
But I am bound for home again
         E                                              B                                C#m
I’m waiting on the day no body to tie me down
         E                                            B                                               E
I’m waiting on the day nobody gonna keep me down

I went to church, the preacher spoke
Of father, son and holy ghost
And how they hated gays the most
I got the hell out running
Heaven knows how hard I’ve tried
To keep my savior satisfied
I’m waiting on the day no body to tie me down
I’m waiting on the day nobody gonna keep me down

Money is like the dust, they say
It comes and goes in its own way
Everything I’ve tried to save
Just rusts and rots and fades
But heaven holds the broke and lonely
Heaven knows that I am only
Waiting on the day no body to tie me down
I’m waiting on the day nobody gonna keep me down

If I should die before I wake
I give the world my flesh to take
It tried so hard my soul to break
I’m bruised but I will fly
To heaven knows I’ve done my best
And I know heaven will do the rest
I’m waiting on the day no body to tie me down
I’m waiting on the day nobody gonna keep me down

When autumn turns the leaves to gold
And time has turned me grey and old
I’ll turn my collar to the cold
And set out on that road
To heaven knows where I’ve been
But soon I will be home again
I’m waiting on the day no body to tie me down
I’m waiting on the day nobody gonna keep me down
