She was waiting tables in a diner off of highway 41
On his way to Indiana on another midnight run
So they talked about the weather, and the next thing that you knew
The hours flew by like minutes
It was time he had to go

On a rainy highway halfway out of town
A voice inside his heart said turn those 18 wheels around...

And go back
You got somebody waiting
Go back
Thats where you need to be... right now
There\'s nothing in this world
More important than that
So go back

They settled down in a little house
In the spring of \'92
And She quit her job at the diner
With the baby almost due
Those early years weren\'t easy
And they had bills to pay
So he said you know I hate to leave you but I\'ll be back by Saturday

10 miles out of Tulsa
His boss came on his radio
Said if you wanna see your brand new daughter
You better drop that load

And go back
You got somebody waiting
Go back
Thats where you need to be... right now
There\'s nothing in this world more important than that
So go back

Everybody heard the sirens
They pulled his rig out of the snow
In a rush to see his family
Somehow he lost control
Though the doctors tried to save him
He slipped into the light
But then he heard the angels whisper...
Now is not your time

Go back
You got somebody waiting
Go back
Thats where you need to be... right now
There\'s nothing in this world more important than that
So go back
