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   I know you think this isn’t fair      And the tears started fallin’   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 past 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 fallin’   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
