The snow in Montana was three feet high
\nThe lady at the counter said: There ain’t no flights
\nAnd so he called her on the telephone
\nHe said: I’ll rent a car and I’ll drive home<\/p>\n
And she said: I’ll wait for you
\nLike I did last year
\nAt Christmas time with your family here
\nAnd your truck broke down out in San Antone
\nAnd the gifts stayed wrapped until you got home
\nOh, this ain’t nothin’ new
\nSweetheart, I’ll wait for you<\/p>\n
Now he’s on his cell phone in a Coupe Deville
\nTalkin’ to the one he loves and always will
\nHis heart is breakin’ ’cause she’s there alone
\nHer heart is achin’ ’cause she wants him home
\nShe says: I’ll wait for you like in ’68
\nWhen our child was due, but I said, he’ll have to wait
\nUntil his dad gets here and stands by my side
\nRemember, Dear, our son’s first cry
\nOh, this ain’t nothin’ new
\nSweetheart, I’ll wait for you<\/p>\n
He didn’t stop all day to eat a bite
\nAnd he finally got there around midnight
\nThe doctor said, she’s in a better place
\nShe said to give you this note just in case<\/p>\n
And it said, I’ll wait for you at Heaven’s gate
\nOh, I don’t care how long it takes
\nAnd I’ll tell Saint Pete I can’t come in
\nWithout my love and my best friend
\nOh, this ain’t nothin’ new
\nSweetheart, I’ll wait for you
\nP.S. I love you, too
\nSweetheart, I’ll wait for you\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
