Waiting on a Woman By: Brad Paisley, ft Andy Griffith


As the title of the song implies, more often than not men find themselves waiting on a woman. The music video begins by portraying how aggravated one man (Brad Paisley) becomes as he attempts to patiently wait for his wife outside of a shopping mall. He attempts to call her and send her picture messages as more and more time passes.
Andy Griffith, a well-known TV actor who had his own show, soon arrives at the same bench as Brad and asks him if he’s waiting on a woman. Mr. Griffith, a man in his eighties with white hair, could obviously tell from experience and the familiar look of frustration in Mr. Paisley’s face that his wife had kept him waiting for too long.
The video includes flashbacks of Griffith’s wife at a young age taking her time to get ready and look perfect for big events such as their first date and wedding day. People in the background at the mall are visibly coming and going as the previously angered, Mr. Paisley laughs while enjoying Mr. Griffiths history of waiting on his woman. Now time doesn’t even seem to matter to Paisley.
The punch line that Griffith is trying to deliver to viewers is that no matter how many times you have to or how long you have to wait, it will be worth it in the long run. Included in the lyrics of the song is: “I read somewhere statistics show, the man’s always the first to go and that makes sense because I know she won’t be ready. So when it finally comes my time, and I get to the other side, I’ll find myself a bench if they’ve got any. I hope she takes her time, because I don’t mind waiting on a woman.” At his time, Griffith is getting all dressed up in a white suit. Later he appears on a bench in ‘the other side’ in his white apparel, patiently waiting on his woman with a grin from ear to ear. Obviously his time was up and he was prepared to wait one last time for his woman.
