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
   And I know you think this isn’t fair
  
   And the tears started falling
   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 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 falling
   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 be China or the dark side of the moon
   There’s no way I can be there every Friday afternoon
