Every Friday Afternoon Lyrics

She called me up this mornin' Said, "There’s somethin' 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 nothin' 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 goin' 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 fallin’ There was nothin' 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 comin' 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
