John Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. Hiatt's songs were covered successfully by everyone from Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, and Dr. Feelgood to Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and the Neville Brothers, yet it took him 13 years to reach the charts himself. Of course, it nearly took him that long to find his own style. Hiatt began his solo career in 1974, and over the next decade he ran through a number of different styles from rock & roll to new wave pop before he finally settled on a rootsy fusion of rock & roll, country, blues, and folk with his 1987 album Bring the Family.

I Can’t Wait Lyrics
John Hiatt
Tonight Im howling at a foreign moon
Might as well be a junkies spoon
For all the light its given me
Sinking in my misery
Its been forty days and forty nights
Darling since I held you tight
I walk the desert of my dreams
I got to get out of here before I scream
Too much take off, too much landing
No such love, no understanding
Chorus:
I cant wait baby till youre by my side
I cant wait baby though you know Ive tried
I cant wait baby just one more ride
I cant wait till youre by my side
Could you crawl through your telephone
Girl Im so tired of being alone
Im talking to walls in my hotel room
Around the world in a sonic boom
Some close calls and some near misses
All I want is your sweet soul kisses
Chorus
For all the noise on my hometown street
Little children playing at my feet
Well I would give my soul to be
Back in your arms in tennessee
Too much take off, too much landing
No such love, no understanding
I cant wait baby till youre by my side
I cant wait though you know Ive tried
I cant wait just one more ride
I cant wait, cant wait
Baby till youre by my side
I cant wait baby till your by my side
I cant wait though you know Ive tried
I cant wait just one more ride
I cant wait till youre by my side
