Every Friday Afternoon

Craig Morgan

She called me up this morning,

she said there's some thing 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

now I know you think this isn't fair



and the tears started falling

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 last three years

there's little league in Boston

oh but how will coach his team

how's he gonna grow-up with out me



and the tears started falling

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
