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
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 ol' days
But I know they brought me to to this place

Oh-oh, oh-oh
All my life I’ve been waiting for this moment
Oh-oh, oh-oh
All my life I’ve been waiting for this moment

It’s been ten years of chasing this crazy drеam
Tryna make it big some how
I’ve been high and low and in-bеtween
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

Oh-oh, oh-oh
All my life I’ve been waiting for this moment
Oh-oh, oh-oh
All my life I’ve been waiting for this moment

You build a life, kids and wife
And you punch the clock every day (Punch the clock every day)
Still waiting for your ship to come in
And you hope that it’s on its way (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

Oh-oh, oh-oh
All my life I’ve been waiting for this moment
Oh-oh, oh-oh
All my life I’ve been waiting for this moment

Oh-oh, oh-oh
All my life I’ve been waiting for this moment
Oh-oh, oh-oh
All my life I’ve been waiting for this moment
