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.

It Hasn’t Happened Yet Lyrics
John Hiatt
You said that I would be sorry if you went away
You said I wouldnt be happy without hell to pay
You said the teardrops would fall
Between the bedroom walls
You said that I would regret
Well it hasnt happened yet
Your friends come over and offer to take me to eat
They all seem so sorry Im sufferin so much misery
They said to just give a call
Next time that I start to crawl
I always say yeah, you bet
But it hasnt happened yet
I dont have anyone
Im havin fun
No one is into me
No ones a mystery
I see you on the street
My heart dont skip no beat
Lovers hostility
Dont mean a thing to me
I find it hard to remember the good times we had
Call me insensitive now that its over Im glad
You said when big shadows fell
It would be too hard to tell
My light from your silhouette
Well it hasnt happened yet
