| She called me up this morning
|
| Said there’s something you should know
|
| There’s a job back home in Boston
|
| And I think I’m gonna go
|
| My parents are in Cambridge
|
| And I’ve got some old friends there
|
| I know you think this isn’t fair
|
| And the tears started fallin'
|
| There was nothing I could say
|
| Even if I fight it
|
| Someone loses either way
|
| Oh, it might as well be China
|
| Or the dark side of the moon
|
| There’s no way I can be there every Friday afternoon
|
| I have him every weekend
|
| He’s got his own room here
|
| He’s all that’s kept me going
|
| These past three years
|
| There’s little league in Boston
|
| Oh, but who will coach his team?
|
| How’s he gonna grow up without me?
|
| And the tears started fallin'
|
| There was nothing I could say
|
| Even if I fight it
|
| Someone loses either way
|
| Oh, it might as well be China
|
| Or the dark side of the moon
|
| There’s no way I can be there
|
| Every Friday afternoon
|
| What about Christmas?
|
| If I can’t get off of work
|
| What about his birthday?
|
| If I’m not there he’ll be hurt
|
| And I know the day is coming
|
| When she’ll find someone new
|
| But he’ll never love him
|
| Like I do
|
| Well, it might as well be China
|
| Or the dark side of the moon
|
| There’s no way I can be there
|
| Every Friday afternoon |
