Don McLean - The Waving Man lyrics
[Don McLean - The Waving Man lyrics]
I get in my car and I drive away
There sit's a man who waves all day
He sit's right there in his wheelchair
And his wave says hi and it say goodbye
He's the waving man he's the waving man
Waves 'em all the same he's the waving man
He's the waving man and he doesn't know
Anybody's name
Well I can tell by his cap
That he was in the war
But he don't get around like he did before
When he waved those troops
Onto a foreign shore and he lost his friends
That he did adore
Well he's the waving man he's the waving man
Waves 'em all the same he's the waving man
He's the waving man and he doesn't know
Anybody's name
Well he waved hello when he came back home
And he told his girl that he would never
And he raised his kids
Until they waved goodbye
Then he waved good luck though he had to cry
He's the waving man he's the waving man
Waves 'em all the same he's the waving man
He's the waving man and he doesn't know
Anybody's name
Well he waved goodbye to his loving wife
The one true girl he loved for life
But he never grieves for his loving bride
'Cause he knows they'll meet
On the other side
He's the waving man he's the waving man
Waves 'em all the same he's the waving man
He's the waving man and he doesn't know
Anybody's name
Well does he wave hello
Or does he wave goodbye only he can know
What he waves and why does he wave goodbye
To the life he led or does he wave hello
To the life ahead
He's the waving man he's the waving man
Waves 'em all the same he's the waving man
He's the waving man and he doesn't know
Anybody's name and no he doesn't know
Anybody's name
There sit's a man who waves all day
He sit's right there in his wheelchair
And his wave says hi and it say goodbye
He's the waving man he's the waving man
Waves 'em all the same he's the waving man
He's the waving man and he doesn't know
Anybody's name
Well I can tell by his cap
That he was in the war
But he don't get around like he did before
When he waved those troops
Onto a foreign shore and he lost his friends
That he did adore
Well he's the waving man he's the waving man
Waves 'em all the same he's the waving man
He's the waving man and he doesn't know
Anybody's name
Well he waved hello when he came back home
And he told his girl that he would never
And he raised his kids
Until they waved goodbye
Then he waved good luck though he had to cry
He's the waving man he's the waving man
Waves 'em all the same he's the waving man
He's the waving man and he doesn't know
Anybody's name
Well he waved goodbye to his loving wife
The one true girl he loved for life
But he never grieves for his loving bride
'Cause he knows they'll meet
On the other side
He's the waving man he's the waving man
Waves 'em all the same he's the waving man
He's the waving man and he doesn't know
Anybody's name
Well does he wave hello
Or does he wave goodbye only he can know
What he waves and why does he wave goodbye
To the life he led or does he wave hello
To the life ahead
He's the waving man he's the waving man
Waves 'em all the same he's the waving man
He's the waving man and he doesn't know
Anybody's name and no he doesn't know
Anybody's name
