Mama cried when I went off to college
Daddy cried when I came back home
My room was just the way I left it
But the boy who lived there was gone gone gone
Went back to Pike Central High School
For the hometown football game
Sat in the stands with my old friends
Telling stories, but it just wasn't the same
Sometimes I miss the good ole days
But I know they brought me to this place
All, all my life I've been waiting for this moment
All, all my life I've been waiting for this moment
It's been ten years of chasing this crazy dream
Tryna make it big somehow
I've been high and low and in-between
But I won't let it get me down, no
Don't need to know how this will all turn out
I'm wide awake in the here and now
All, all my life I've been waiting for this moment
All, all my life I've been waiting for this moment
You build a life, kids and wife
And you punch the clock every day
Still waiting for your ship to come in
And you hope that it's on its way
Well it ain't on its way
No, it's here today
I've been waiting been waiting
All, all my life I've been waiting for this moment
All, all my life I've been waiting for this moment
All, all my life I've been waiting for this moment
All, all my life I've been waiting for this moment
