If I'd have known you were coming I would have baked you a cake,
thrown a big old party and stayed up way too late.

If I'd have known you were coming, I would have told everyone in town,
we'd be at the airport when that big ol' plane set down.

If I'd have known you were coming, I would have put on my best face,
went down to your VA room and lie, say you look just great.

If I'd have known you were coming, I'd have fixed your house up right,
so you could get in your front door without too much fight.

If I'd have known you were coming I would have baked you a cake,
put on my best Sunday dress and took it to your wake.

I would hug your little sister and cry with your mom,
and mourn a life cut short by a goddamn roadside bomb.

If I had known you were coming, I would have baked you a cake...
