The snow in Montana was three feet high
Lady at the counter said,
"There ain't no flights"

So he called her on the telephone,
He said I'll rent a car
And I'll drive home.


She said,
I'll wait for you like I did last year

At Christmas time with you family here,
And your truck broke down
Out in San Antone

And the gifts stayed wrapped
Till you got home,
Oh this ain't nothing new,

Sweetheart I'll wait for you.

Now he's on his cell phone

In a Coupe deVille
Talking to the one he loves and always will
His heart is breaking

Cause she's there alone
Her heart is aching
Cause she wants him home


She says i'll wait for you
Like in '68 when our child was due

I said It will have to wait
Until his dad gets here,
And stands by my side,

Remember dear our son's first cry.
Soh this ain't nothing 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 St. Pete I can't come in

Without my love and my best friend,
Oh this ain't nothing new,
Sweetheart I'll wait for you.


P.S. I love you too
Sweatheart I'll wait for you...
