Lyrics

Bonneville (What’re We Waiting For)

See that blacktop up ahead like a ribbon from my hair
Momma said it don’t run back here, girl
And ain’t that sunset red, ain’t something in the air
I can almost see that road uncurl
But this old Bonneville ain’t no good standing still
So put that pedal to the floor

What’re we waiting for, what’ve we got to prove
When this old one-horse town is all we’ve got to lose
When I’m alone with you I don’t need no more
Baby that’s my truth, so what’re we waiting for

One hand on the wheel, one hand on the shift
Get this dream in gear Lord knows we’ll live it
‘Cause life is just a deal and love is just a gift
Don’t mean a thing if you don’t give it
But this old Bonneville ain’t no good standing still
So put that pedal to the floor

What’re we waiting for, what’ve we got to prove
When this old one-horse town is all we’ve got to lose
When I’m alone with you I don’t need no more
Baby that’s my truth, so what’re we waiting for

This old Bonneville ain’t no good standing still
So put that pedal to the floor

What’re we waiting for, what’ve we got to prove
When I walked out that door I had everything to lose
But boy when I’m with you I don’t need no more
Guess that’s my truth, so what’re we waiting for

What’re we waiting for, what’ve we got to prove
When this old one-horse town is all we’ve got to lose
When I’m alone with you I don’t need no more
Baby that’s my truth, so what’re we waiting for
