	Story Behind the Song an intro by Lee Lynds One of Marlene's favourite recording artists is Willie Nelson. In fact, she claims an undying love for the man. The title of the song comes from an innocent incident. I was biding my time patiently (okay, not really patiently) while Marlene seemed to be delaying a decision that needed to made, at least in my mind, immediately When I could stand it no longer, I asked, "What are you waiting for?" The response let me know she was not going to be rushed. "I'm waitin' for Willie... okay?" Before long, the lyrics were on paper, and the music soon followed. Lyrics She's hangin' out clothes on the back yard line "These belong to Willie, he'll be back sometime" Folks around here say she's crazy as a loon She whistles while she works and she sings that little tune She's waitin', waitin' for Willie She's waitin', waitin' for Willie Well, Willie left her ten long years ago And even though he's gone, she still loves him so Folks around here say he's never comin' back Took ev'rything he needed in a gunny sack She's waitin', waitin' for Willie She's waitin', waitin' for Willie When Willie comes back he'll bring a bunch of flowers She'll make a pot of coffee, they'll talk away the hours When Willie comes home, they'll be wed the next day Just like the plans they made before he went away She's waitin', waitin' for Willie She's waitin', waitin' for Willie (instrumental) When Willie comes back he'll bring a bunch of flowers She'll make a pot of coffee, they'll talk away the hours When Willie comes home, they'll be wed the next day Just like the plans they made before he went away She's waitin', waitin' for Willie She's waitin', waitin' for Willie She's sittin' out front in her tattered chair Lookin' for some comfort but Willie isn't there Folks around here say that ev'ry single night There's a candle in the window, that's Willie's guiding light She's waitin', waitin' for Willie She's waitin', waitin' for Willie She's waitin', waitin' for Willie She's waitin', waitin' for Willie Still waitin', waitin' for Willie copyright © 1994 by Lee Lynds and Marlene Moore all rights reserved
