美國鄉村樂天后［蕾芭麥肯泰］的事業起步──中板鄉村曲──［Glad I Waited Just For You／高興只為你等待］

[Verse]

Use to be (Use to be)

Love was mean to me

Every love I tried my heart cried that will not do

Now you see (Now you see)

Loves been good to me I guess my love was waiting just for you

You and me (You and me) (You and me)

Go so well as we

Fit right to a T

Cant you see we do

[Chorus][x4]

Got to say (Got to say) (Got to say)

Your loves got a way

Of making me glad

I waited just for you

I should have known

That my heart could not be wrong

１９７７年８月　２２歲的美國鄉村樂歌手蕾芭．麥肯泰（Reba McEntire）在Mercury唱片旗下出版首張同名錄音室大碟〔Reba McEntire〕

由   Jerry Kennedy, Glenn Keener製作, 走傳統鄉村樂路線

樂評良好

只是前兩首單曲表現不佳（Billboard鄉村榜#88, #86）

１９７８年７月　為配合專輯發行, 蕾芭推出第三單曲［Glad I Waited Just For You／高興只為你等待］宣傳

由Royce Porter, Bucky E. Jones譜寫, 被製作成一首中板鄉村曲

在輕鬆的節奏間, 麥肯泰的嗓音詮釋有如春風輕拂雙頰

［Glad I Waited Just For You］反應依舊冷漠, 再度拿到Billboard鄉村歌曲榜＃８８

大碟也沒打入鄉村專輯榜或流行榜

雖然蕾芭事業的起步表現讓人無法預料日後的璀璨成績

但卻漸入佳境, 終於在１９８２年以［Cant Even Get the Blues］拿到鄉村歌曲榜冠軍, 最後成為１９８０年代的美國鄉村歌后
