lyrics

He’s waiting on the clouds to go ahead and break
He’s waiting on the grounds to go ahead and shake
He's waiting on the dealer to play one good hand
He's waiting on his hundred to turn into a grand

He’s waiting on his will to go ahead and cave
He’s waiting on his savior to hurry up and save
He’s waiting on the women to see what they’re missing
He’s tired of all the frogs he’s been kissing

He's changing with the times, but he’s still set in his ways
He can’t afford to leave and he can’t afford to stay
He's waiting on the clown to pop out of the can
They keep winding him up
He's the last angry man

He's waiting in God's waiting room with a People magazine
He’s waiting on that big phone call that changes everything
He’s waiting on a reason to get him out of bed
He stood in line forever and it never moved ahead

He's changing with the times, but he’s still set in his ways
He can’t afford to leave and he can’t afford to stay
He's waiting on the clown to pop out of the can
They keep winding him up
He's the last angry man

He hears the wind a’ whistle and it whistles, it whistles a hymn
He hears the thunder clapping and it’s clapping, it’s clapping for him
And he stops and he starts and stops
And he stops and he starts and stops
And starts up again

He's not waiting on Medusa to look him in the eye
He’s not waiting on Big Foot to come running by
His whole world around him, all he sees is angry men
He’s not alone or crazy, just every now and then

He sees the clouds above go ahead and break
They laugh and put him down it puts a smile on his face
Now they’re waiting on the clown to pop out the can
He keeps winding them up, he keeps winding them up
He’s the last angry man

Matt North Nashville, Tennessee

“I started writing songs in my 30's and started finishing them in my 40's.” – Matt North

Raised on equal doses of Hee-Haw and Soul Train in Champaign, IL, North began as a neighborhood drummer jamming to Devo and Kiss albums in his garage. His father’s family were Scotch-Irish coal miners in Harlan County, KY. At 15, he worked at Farm Aid I picking up trash. He blames that day for pursuing music. ... more
