The Call

Today was gonna be the day He'd already wrote the note And parked that Chevrolet At the end of that dead end road Had his finger on the trigger Just about to end everything He was taking one last long breath When he heard his cellphone ring And his best friend said, "Man, where you've been? We're heading down to the lake this weekend You better not miss it 'cause buddy I swear It won't be the same if you ain't there And I told that girl that you like so much You were comin' along and her eyes lit up I better let you go, man I really hope I didn't catch you in the middle of anything" He said, "You kinda did", but I don't mind at all I'm glad you called In another town, down the road In the back seat of a car Two 18 year olds had let a kiss go too far He said, "How we're gonna have this child When we're both headed off to school" He convinced her late one night There's only one thing to do She was scared to death in that waiting room When the nurse asked, "How far along are you?" She said, "Five weeks" and just about then Her phone lit up and his call came in He said, "Baby, I was wrong about everything I've already bought you a diamond ring We're gonna start a life, would you be my wife? Boy or girl, pink or blue, yeah, either way" All she could say as she felt those tear drops fall I'm so glad you called If someone you know is weighing on your mind And needs a friend on the other end of the line Don't hesitate, what you say may seem so small But who knows, they might be glad you called So make the call Ya make that call
