Every Friday Afternoon

She called me up this morning

Said there's something 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

And 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 who will coach his team

How's he gonna grow up without 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
