As the pager goes off and the call comes in
I wonder what we will have or where we will be going
Who will be there and what will we find
Will today be the day I find a friend or a loved one dying
The call comes in and I have to get dressed
I run out the door, into my vehicle and down the road I get going
Now that the call is in I know I will be missed
The dinner he had planned but this is what I do
The call is over and I come home
He is sitting on the couch next to the phone
I give him a kiss and tell him it was bad
But most of all I tell him I wouldnt look back
The one so close and dear to me
Now realizes this is not an abnormal thing
To leave in the most difficult times
Or even miss a wonderful time with my man
