You Never Know

He kissed his wife at gate number 5
Headed on another red-eye flight
Said he'd be back on the 9th and they'd find the time
To take the kids out on the coast
Do the things that really matter most
But he won't be coming home
This time
Guess you never know
You never know
In this here today and gone tomorrow
Don't be fightin' with your brother
Tell your mama that you love her
Hold your woman tight
And don't let go
Cause you never know
And I held my woman tight
I cry about my brother's life almost every night
I think about our year-long grudge
Mama begged me to call him up
What I wouldn't give now
To go back
Cause you never know
You never know
In this here today and gone tomorrow
Don't be fightin' with your brother
Tell your mama that you love her
Hold your woman tight
And don't let go
Cause you never know
If you've been puttin' off forgiveness
Man, tomorrow ain't a promise
Call 'em up tonight and let it go
Cause you never know
