You Never Know

He kissed his wife at gate number 5

Headed on another red-eye flight

Said he'd be back on the 9th and they'd find the time

To take the kids out on the coast

Do the things that really matter most

But he won't be coming home

This time

Guess you never know

You never know

In this here today and gone tomorrow

Don't be fightin' with your brother

Tell your mama that you love her

Hold your woman tight

And don't let go

'Cause you never know

So I took my own advice

And I held my woman tight

I cry about my brother's life almost every night

I think about our year-long grudge

Mama begged me to call him up

What I wouldn't give now

To go back

'Cause you never know

You never know

In this here today and gone tomorrow

Don't be fightin' with your brother

Tell your mama that you love her

Hold your woman tight

And don't let go

'Cause you never know

If you've been puttin' off forgiveness

Man, tomorrow ain't a promise

Call 'em up tonight and let it go

'Cause you never know
