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
