He said: "I'll rent a car and I'll drive home."
Speaker A
She said: "I'll wait for you."
Speaker A
Like I did last year.

At Christmas time with your family here.
Speaker A
And your truck broke down.
Speaker A
Out in San Antone.
Speaker A
And the gifts stayed wrapped until you got home. Oh, this ain't nothin' new.
Speaker A
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you.
Speaker A
Now he's on his cell phone.
Speaker A
In a Coupe Deville, talking to the one he loves and always will.
Speaker A
His heart is breakin' 'cause she's there alone.
Speaker A
Her heart is achin' 'cause she wants him home.
Speaker A
She says: "I'll wait for you."
Speaker A
Like in '68.
Speaker A
When our child was due.
Speaker A
I said: "He'll have to wait."
Speaker A
Until his dad gets here and stands by my side. Remember, Dear, our son's first cry.
Speaker A
Oh, this ain't nothin' new.
Speaker A
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you.
Speaker A
He didn't stop all day to eat a bite.
Speaker A
And he finally got there around midnight.
Speaker A
The doctor said: "She's in a better place."
Speaker A
She said to give this you this note just in case.
Speaker A
And it said, I'll wait for you.
Speaker A
At heaven's gates.
Speaker A
Oh, I don't care how long it takes.
Speaker A
And I'll tell Saint Pete: "I can't come in."
Speaker A
Without my love and my best friend.
Speaker A
Oh, this ain't nothin' new.
Speaker A
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you.
Speaker A
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you.
