Water from tailpipe

Any reason other than a head gasket problem that would cause water to come from my tailpipe?
I don't seem to be losing coolant, but I leave a noticeable puddle of water when I leave truck idling for a while.
It's a '97 EB with 5.0 engine and 105K miles. Just bought it a month ago, so I don't have a lot of history.
Thanks for the help.

I get the same thing when left idling, especially if running the heater or a/c, however the above posts are correct, this is just condensation--nothing to worry about
