Waterloo (Jones) Emus Way Music / BMI ©2000

The people out here in the middle of nowhere seem to know everything
They know every short cut and back road that'll bring them back again
And they know, where they're going

I think I'll go pick up my little brother and have him sing a song
The windows in my shop keep getting smaller and the nights are getting long
And he knows, where he's going

Going up to Waterloo, to see Louise
300 miles and I'm with you, Louise

Down at the hotel having rounds with some of my old friends
Hamilton breaks out a game and I holler I'm with him
Cause he knows, where he's going

George cracks a smile with chalk on his stick and scratches on his first try
I say, "rack 'm up, money down, eight ball in the side"
Cause I know, where it's going

Going up to Waterloo, to see Louise
200 miles and I'm with you, Louise

The two black labs are getting restless as we get close to the border
I say to them it's our last chance but we just keep rolling forward
And they know, where they're going

Customs asks me where I'm from and when I'll be going back
"Just a couple days, a month, a year, I'm not sure where I'm at"
But I know, where I'm going

Going up to Waterloo, to see Louise
100 miles and I'm with you, Louise
