The Calling

Matt Kennon - The Call

Today was gonna be the day

He'd already wrote the note

He parked that Chevrolet

At the end of that dead end road

Had his finger on the trigger

Just about to end everything

He was taking one last long breath

When he heard his cell phone ring

His best friend said, "man where you been?"

We're headin down to the lake this weekend

You better not miss it

Cause buddy I swear

It won't be the same

If you ain't there

I told that girl that you like so much

You were coming along and her eyes lit up

I better let you go

Man I really hope

I didn't catch you in the middle of anything

He said you kinda did

But I don't mind at all

I'm glad you called

Then another tale down the road

In the back seat of the car

Two 18 year olds

Had let a kiss go to far

He said how we gonna have this child

We are both headed off to school

He convinced her late one night

There's only one thing to do

She was scared to death in that waiting room

When the nurse asked how far along are you

She said 5 weeks and just about then

Her phone lite up and his call came in

He said baby I was wrong about everything

I've already bought you a diamond ring

We're gonna start a life, would you be my wife?

Boy or girl, pink or blue, yeah either way

All she could say, as she felt those tear drops fall

I'm so glad you called

If someone you know, is waiting on your mind

That needs a friend on the other end of the line

Don't hesitate, what you say may seem so small

But who knows, they might be, glad you called

So make the call
