One On The Way

(album: Blue Jeans - 2020)

I can't believe that this is me
In a whole lotta ways it still feels 17
Running free, yeah
I remember the night
I talked to your dad and he asked me
If I got a ring, yeah

That was somewhere between right now and back when

One on the way was an all night sunrise watch from the hood of a car
One on the way was a whiskey and coke slid down to the end of the bar
A MAPCO off of the highway
A paycheck coming on Friday
Man, I gotta say
One on the way means a whole different thing these days

We got the paint on the walls
And the curtains all hung up
There's still some holes
That I made I gotta fix

And I bet next time that I see 4 AM
No, it won't look the way it did back when

One on the way was an all night sunrise watch from the hood of a car
One on the way was a whiskey and coke slid down to the end of the bar
A MAPCO off of the highway
A paycheck coming on Friday
Man, I gotta say
One on the way means a whole different thing these days
These days

Now one on the way is a black and white sonogram hanging out on the fridge
One on the way is for taking your hand and the feeling you get when it kicks
A little bit scared but you can't wait
Your whole world 'bout to turn sideways
Man, I gotta say
One on the way means a whole different thing these days
These days
I got one on the way
