I'll Wait For You

The snow in Montana was three feet high

The lady at the counter said there ain't no flights

And so he called her on the telephone

He said, 'I'll rent a car, and I'll drive home'

And she said, 'I'll wait for you

Like I did last year

At Christmas time with your family here

And your truck broke down out in San Antone

And the gifts stayed wrapped until you got home

Oh, this ain't nothin' new

Sweetheart, I'll wait for you'

Now he's on his cell phone in a Coupe De ville

Talkin' to the one he loves and always will

His heart is breakin' 'cause she's there alone

Her heart is achin' ah she wants him home

She says, 'I'll wait for you like in '68

When our child was due, but I said, he'll have to wait

Until his dad gets here and stands by my side

Remember, dear, our son's first cry

Oh, this ain't nothin' new

Sweetheart, I'll wait for you'

He didn't stop all day to eat a bite

And he finally got there around midnight

The doctor said, she's in a better place

She said to give this you this note just in case

And it said, 'I'll wait for you at Heaven's gate

Oh, I don't care how long it takes

And I'll tell Saint Pete I can't come in

Without my love and my best friend

Oh, this ain't nothin' new

Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

P.S. I love you, too

Sweetheart,. I'll wait for you'
