| The snow in Montana was three feet high | 
| The lady at the counter said: There ain’t no flights | 
| And so he called her on the telephone | 
| He said: I’ll rent a car and I’ll drive home | 
| And she said: I’ll wait for you | 
| Like I did last year | 
| At Christmas time with your family here | 
| And your truck broke down out in San Antone | 
| And the gifts stayed wrapped until you got home | 
| Oh, this ain’t nothin' new | 
| Sweetheart, I’ll wait for you | 
| Now he’s on his cell phone in a Coupe Deville | 
| Talkin' to the one he loves and always will | 
| His heart is breakin' 'cause she’s there alone | 
| Her heart is achin' 'cause she wants him home | 
| She says: I’ll wait for you like in '68 | 
| When our child was due, but I said, he’ll have to wait | 
| Until his dad gets here and stands by my side | 
| Remember, Dear, our son’s first cry | 
| Oh, this ain’t nothin' new | 
| Sweetheart, I’ll wait for you | 
| He didn’t stop all day to eat a bite | 
| And he finally got there around midnight | 
| The doctor said, she’s in a better place | 
| She said to give this you this note just in case | 
| And it said, I’ll wait for you at Heaven’s gate | 
| Oh, I don’t care how long it takes | 
| And I’ll tell Saint Pete I can’t come in Without my love and my best friend | 
| Oh, this ain’t nothin' new | 
| Sweetheart, I’ll wait for you | 
| P. S. I love you, too | 
| Sweetheart, I’ll wait for you |
