If B.B. King & Etta James made a song together... 🎸 (Ain't Waiting) | Lady Nina

"Ain't Waiting" is a definitive soul-blues anthem celebrating the quiet strength of moving on.

Set against a sonic landscape reminiscent of a midnight lounge in 1960s Memphis, this composition explores the moment when heartache turns into peace. Anchored by a crying lead guitar that channels the phrasing of B.B. King and a vocal performance echoing the raw gravitas of Etta James, the track serves as a final verdict. It is not a cry for help; it is a statement of freedom.

The thrill is gone. The door is closed. The score is settled.

|| LYRICAL NARRATIVE ||

[Verse I]
The thrill has packed its bags and gone.
The sun don't shine here from dusk 'til dawn.
Oh baby... you know exactly what I mean.
We ran out of gas, we lost the dream.
You took my love just like a souvenir.
Now the road is long, and you ain't here.

[Verse II]
The silence gets loud in the afternoon.
Just me and the shadows in this room.
But I ain't gonna cry myself to sleep.
I got promises that I intend to keep.
It's a lonely bed, but the sheets are clean.
Lord, it's the quietest peace I've ever seen.

[Chorus]
I ain't waiting by the door no more.
I found my key and I settled the score.
I said, I ain't waiting by the door no more.
Used to be blind, but baby I can see.
Yeah, I'm finally free.

[Verse III]
The seasons change, and people do too.
I can't spend a lifetime fixin' you.
I'm older now, got a little wise.
I see the truth behind your eyes.
A woman like me needs solid ground.
Not some lost boy wandering around.

[Outro]
So go on, darling, find your way.
I hope you find your sunny day.
No hard feelin's, no bad blood.
We just got stuck here in the mud.
I wish you peace, I really do.
But I'm done... yeah, I'm done with you.
