"If I Don't Make It Back"

We went out for beers and a couple of laughs,
knowing forwell that every bad joke that Jimmy told
might be his last, so we laughed like the world wasn't at war.
Said things to him we never said before
and he teared up, as he held up his glass he said,

"boys if I don't make it back
have a beer for me,
dont waste no tears on me,
and on friday nights sit on the visitors side and cheer for the home team,
drive my camero
90 MPH down a red rock road
with "born to run" blasting on the radio
and find somone good enough for Amy
who will love her like I would have,
if I dont make it back"

We said "hey man that ain't gonna happen,
dont even think like that,
we know you, you'll pull without a scratch",
he pulled me aside in the parking lot
said Amy and me, were gonna tie the knot,
your my best man
just wanted you to know that
just in case I don't make it back

"have a beer for me
don't waste no tears on me
and on friday nights sit on the visitors side and cheer for the home team,
drive my camero
90 MPH down a red rock road
with "born to run" blasting on the radio
and find somone good enough for amy
who will love her like I would have,
If i dont make it back,
if the good lord calls me home
I'd like to think my friends will think about me when im gone

Well "Miller Light" aint my brand
but i drink one every now and then in his honor
and we aint missed a home game yet,
had that camero at 110 on red rock road
when the speakers blow
and i introduced amy to a friend of mine from monroe
hes a good ol boy
but you know
she just aint ready
