I called you at 2 am
GET HERE NOW
The baby is coming
What!? Where?! When?! How
Baby, South Carolina, NOW... just get here

You got to the hospital with time to spare
and the only thing we could do was stare.
You gave me a kiss
and you held my hand...
my fear crept in and  I asked you to stand

My mother left the room
and you took the place beside me
I had our son that night
and you were there to guide me

You patted the sweat from my face
and after he was born
our future fell into place.

Come back with me you whispered
How can I, I replied,
You said I don't know and sighed

I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
lets get carried away
and lets just move

We can get our own home
No more need to roam
lets settle down
in a small town...
