The bad news just keeps crawling across her TV screen
She wonders to herself,”What does it all mean?”
All she knows is that it’s just another lonely night
Got the kids off to bed but no one to hold her tight

Now she’s waiting, just waiting
She’s waiting on the end of the world

She goes to church on Sunday but there’s just nothing there
The preacher talks and talks but does anyone really care?
Her old girlfriends try to drag her out come every Friday night
But she dont want to meet a man out under those lights

Now she’s waiting, she’s waiting
She’s waiting on the end of the world

Her children are growing up too hard and too fast
There’s just too much information but how long will any of it last?
Her parents they call and send their love to her and the kids
But her husband he is gone and she don’t want to live

Now she’s waiting, she’s waiting
She’s waiting on the end of the world
