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 breathe

When he heard his cell phone ring

And his best friends say, man, where you been?

We're headed 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 coming 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 backseat of a car

Two 18 year olds had let a kiss go too far

He said how are we 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

Saying, 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

Yeah, make the call
