If I Don't Make It Back

We went out for beers and a couple laughs Knowing full well 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'd 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, don't waste no tears on me On Friday night, sit on the visitor's side, and cheer for the home team Drive my Camaro 90 miles an hour down Red Rock Road With Born To Run blastin' on the radio And find someone good enough for Amy Who will love her like I would have If I don't make it back" We said, "Hey, man, now 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 parkin' lot Said, "Amy and me, we're gonna tie the knot You're 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 On Friday night, sit on the visitor's side, and cheer for the home team Drive my Camaro 90 miles an hour down Red Rock Road With Born To Run blastin' on the radio And find someone good enough for Amy Who will love her like I 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 Well, Miller Lite ain't my brand But I drink one every now and then in his honor And we ain't missed a home game yet Had that Camaro at a 110 on Red Rock Road When the speakers blowed And I introduced Amy to a friend of mine from Monroe He's a good old boy But you know She just ain't ready
