Lyrics

[00:14.43] The snow in Montana was three feet high
[00:19.92]
[00:20.99] The lady at the counter said: There ain't no flights
[00:26.29]
[00:28.04] And so he called her on the telephone
[00:32.47]
[00:34.71] He said: I'll rent a car and I'll drive home
[00:39.39] And she said: I'll wait for you
[00:42.64]
[00:43.51] Like I did last year
[00:47.00] At Christmas time with your family here
[00:52.74]
[00:53.49] And your truck broke down out in San Antone
[00:59.36]
[01:00.17] And the gifts stayed wrapped until you got home
[01:06.43] Oh, this ain't nothin' new
[01:09.05]
[01:12.73] Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
[01:16.47]
[01:21.03] Now he's on his cell phone in a Coupe Deville
[01:26.42]
[01:27.85] Talkin' to the one he loves and always will
[01:32.93]
[01:34.68] His heart is breakin' 'cause she's there alone
[01:39.73]
[01:41.10] Her heart is achin' 'cause she wants him home
[01:45.97] She says: I'll wait for you like in '68
[01:52.90]
[01:53.58] When our child was due, but I said, he'll have to wait
[01:59.45] Until his dad gets here and stands by my side
[02:06.52]
[02:07.14] Remember, Dear, our son's first cry
[02:12.47] Oh, this ain't nothin' new
[02:16.40]
[02:19.35] Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
[02:23.99]
[02:28.17] He didn't stop all day to eat a bite
[02:33.03]
[02:34.34] And he finally got there around midnight
[02:39.59]
[02:41.07] The doctor said, she's in a better place
[02:46.70]
[02:47.56] She said to give this you this note just in case
[02:52.88] And it said, I'll wait for you at Heaven's gate
[02:59.30]
[03:00.05] Oh, I don't care how long it takes
[03:05.83]
[03:06.77] And I'll tell Saint Pete I can't come in
[03:12.97]
[03:13.59] Without my love and my best friend
[03:19.17] Oh, this ain't nothin' new
[03:23.10]
[03:26.03] Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
[03:32.88] P.S. I love you, too
[03:38.37]
[03:40.56] Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
[03:51.29]
[03:59.16]
