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
