Story behind the song
Another song for my wife. All prior torches have been extinguished, and disposed of. I've cleaned house. She's the one.
Lyrics
I ain't waiting on Jodie Foster anymore.
That was never going to happen anyway as we both know.
A couple years ago I heard an interview.
She said something really stupid; made me glad to be with you.
I'll only see her movies now if they get good reviews.
I ain't waiting on Jodie Foster anymore.
God came in between me and Colleen.
That was her contention, though I didn't see a thing.
I cringe now when I think back about all the years I clung.
I should have cut my losses when she tried to be a nun.
In retrospect I really think that was my cue to run.
Yeah, God came in between me and Colleen.
I ain't got a crush on Erin anymore.
I went shopping with her husband in a big department store.
She'd taken up collecting Snowbabies figurines.
I looked at my buddy thinking, "Better you than me."
Then I looked in my heart at where that old flame used to be.
I ain't got a crush on Erin anymore.
I've got to level with you about Jane.
'Cause she ripped me to pieces like no one can again.
The last time that I saw her it was like a battlefield
With an historic marker, but the battle seemed unreal.
Sittin' in a Starbuck's wond'rin what was the big deal.
And now I've leveled with you about Jane.
I ain't waiting on Jodie Foster anymore.
That was never going to happen anyway as we both know.
A couple years ago I heard an interview.
She said something really stupid; made me glad to be with you.
And the fact that she's not into guys has got nothing to do with
Me not waiting on Jodie Foster anymore.
