The lady at the counter said: There ain't no flights
( Em )                          ( A )            
And so he called her on the telephone

Like I did last year

Now he's on his cell phone in a Coupe Deville

Talkin' to the one he loves and always will
( Em )                          ( A )            
His heart is breakin' 'cause she's there alone
( C )                                        ( D )   
Her heart is achin' 'cause she wants him home

When our child was due, but I said, he'll have to wait
( G )                                ( Am )
Until his dad gets here and stands by my side
( Em7 )                         ( C )            ( D )
Remember, Dear, our son's first cry

Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

( G )                           ( Am )
He didn't stop all day to eat a bite
( D )                               ( G )
And he finally got there around midnight

The doctor said, she's in a better place

And I'll tell Saint Pete I can't come in
