5 AM, bags are packed
Don't know when he's coming back home again
He gives the kids a kiss goodbye
She's holding back the urge to cry, hoping
Wishing there's something that
She can do other than hold him
He wiped her eyes, said "It's time"
Under the doorway she told him:
"Call me when you get there
Tell me you got there safe
I'll be waitin' right here
Can't wait to hear you say
That everything is goin' fine
You made it there and you're alive
You know I'll be missin' your face
See you soon and take care
And call me when you get there"
She's seventeen, college bound
Doesn't need her dad around no more
His heart's about to leave his chest
Crazy how fast they get older
Seems like it was yesterday
That he first got to hold her
He wiped his eyes, said "It's time"
Under the doorway he told her:
"Call me when you get there
Tell me you got there safe
I'll be waitin' right here
Can't wait to hear you say
That everything is goin' fine
You made it there and you're alive
You know I'll be missin' your face
See you soon and take care
And call me when you get there"
Sixty years side by side
Still feels like he stole her
Through the best, through the worst
Just feels lucky to know her
"And when this ride ends
If you go first", he told her
Call me when you get there
Tell me you got there safe
I'll be waitin' right here
Can't wait to hear you say
That everything is goin' fine
You made it there and you're still mine
You know I'll be missin' your face
See you soon and take care
And call me when you get there
Call me when you get there
