Joe Nichols - I'Ll Wait For You lyrics

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 nothing new

Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

Now he's on his cell phone in a Coupe Deville

Talking to the one he loves and always will

His heart is breaking 'cause she's there alone

Her heart is aching '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 nothing new

Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

He didn't stop all day to eat a bite

When he finally got there around midnight

The doctor said, she's in a better place

She said to give 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 nothing new

Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

P.S. I love you, too

Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
