He Leaves home just like every morning Saying goodbye to his son A kiss on the cheek to the woman he loves And its off to work for another day Traffic jam outside the city Leaves him anxious once again He parks his car and rushes up the stairs Puts his breifcase down and sits in his chair Overlooking the town he calls home And everyone is unaware Then up from the frame of the picture on his desk Of the family he loves Uneasiness fills his chest So he calls his wife just to tell her this: Don't wait up for me tonight Cuz I won't be coming home And everything's gonna be alright I just wanted you to know I had to call you one last time Just to rest your mind Don't wait up for me tonight Cuz I won't be coming home And everything's gonna be alright I just wanted you to know Lights go out People shout People crying Me, I'm trying Mothers cry Fathers die And me, I'm still holding on To you To you Lights go out People shout People crying Me, I'm trying Mothers cry Fathers die And me, I'm still holding on To you A few more words and I'm going to go I can see the end from here I love you I just wanted to say Those three words to you today
