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 be China or the dark side of the moon
There`s no way I can be there every Friday afternoon
