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 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, 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 nothing new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

He didn't stop all day to eat a bite
When 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 nothing new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
P.S. I love you, too
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
