Born Webb Michael Pierce in West Monroe, Louisiana, he became a star performer on the Louisiana Hayride and one of country music's most popular honky tonk songsters. He was a regular performer on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. His biggest hit, 1953's "There Stands the Glass" is regarded as one of country's all-time classic "drinking songs". Other hits included "Backstreet Affair", "Why, Baby, Why", “Oh, So Many Years", and “Finally”, the latter two being duets with Kitty Wells. In addition to his music, Pierce was known for his lavish Nashville mansion, which featured a guitar-shaped swimming pool, among other truly bizzare and amazing things.

Waiting A Life-Time (1990) Lyrics

Webb Pierce

Waitin' a lifetime for someone to love someone that I'd call mine
Waitin' a lifetime is not any fun I feel like I'm wastin' my time
Someone to miss someone to kiss who'd let me stay in their heart
Someone to hold when lights grow cold and say that we'd never part
Waitin' a lifetime and longin' for love there must be someone for me
Where in my lifetime can that someone be who's waiting for someone like me
[ fiddle ]
Waitin' a lifetime for someone to love...
