If I Don't Make It Back

We went out for beers and a couple laughs

Knowin' full well that every bad joke

Jimmy told could be his last

So we laughed like the world wasn't at war

Said things to him we'd never said before

And he teared up as he held up his glass

Said boys, "If I don't make it back"

Have a beer for me

Don't waste no tears on me

On Friday night sit on the visitor side

And cheer for the home team

Drive my Camaro

Ninety mile an hour down Red Rock Road

With "Born to Run" blasting on the radio

And find someone good enough for Amy

Who'll love her like a would have

If I don't make it back

We said hey man that ain't gonna happen

Don't even think like that

If we know you you'll pull through without a scratch

He pulled me aside in the parking lot

Said Amy and me are gonna tie the knot

You're my best man

Just wanted you to know that

In case I don't make it back

Have a beer for me

Don't waste no tears on me

On Friday night sit on the visitor side

And cheer for the home team

Drive my Camaro

Ninety mile an hour down Red Rock Road

With "Born to Run" blasting on the radio

And find someone good enough for Amy

Who'll love her like a would have

If I don't make it back

If the good Lord calls me home

I'd like to think my friends will think

About me when I'm gone

Miller lite ain't my brand

But I drink one every now and then in his honor

We ain't missed a home game yet

Had that Camaro at a hundred and ten on Red Rock Road

When the speakers blowed

And I introduced Amy to a friend of mine from Monroe

He's a good ol' boy but you know

She just ain't ready
