39 Weeks

On Monday night my mind was racing with thoughts of... well, waiting.  So I put my energy in a creative direction in this song, 39 Weeks.  I've included the full text below, because not only can you not hear me singing clearly a lot of the time in the YouTube clip, but I also messed up the words -- just about all of them, quite honestly.  (I may have nailed the chorus once, but whatever; the song was less than 24 hours old as of this recording.)  P.S.  St. Joe's is the hospital.

39 Weeks

C - / F - / C - / GFC- / GFC-

My wife’s been pregnant for 39 weeks

I love to kiss her on her ruby red cheeks

My phone’s in my pocket and the ringer’s turned on

Cause if she calls me I got to go

We’ve got a date with St. Joe’s

It’s been 39 weeks and just one day

If she calls now, I’ll be on my way

I hate to leave you when my song’s underway

            But if she calls me...

It’s 39 weeks and we’re on to day two

Though it might look like I’m singing to you

My mind is full and I’m preoccupied

            If she calls me...

39 weeks and three days out

Of one thing there can be no doubt

If my phone rings, then I’m headed out

            If she calls me...

39 weeks and we’re on to day four

She says she’s ready so she’s moppin’ the floor

If she calls I’ll be late for the door

            If she calls me...

39 weeks and day number five

We’ve been waiting 9 months for this day to arrive

If I’m late then I might not survive

            If she calls me...

Two years ago, I made her my bride

I oughta be home, oughta be by her side

Oughta be there so I can give her a ride

      If she calls me I got to go

      We’ve got a date with St. Joe’s

      If she calls me I got to go

I really ought to just go

I am just gonna go
