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 Deville
Talkin' to the one
he loves and always will
His heart is breakin'
cause she's there alone
Her heart is achin' cause
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 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
