The Call

Today was gonna be the day
 He'd already wrote the note
 And 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 cellphone ring
 And his best friend said, "Man, where you've been?
 We're heading 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
 And I told that girl that you like so much
 You were comin' 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
 ♪
 In another town, down the road
 In the back seat of a car
 Two 18 year olds had let a kiss go too far
 He said, "How we're gonna have this child
 When we're 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, "Five weeks" and just about then
 Her phone lit 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 weighing on your mind
 And 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
 Ya make that call
