If I Don't Make It Back

If I Don't Make It Back - Tracy Lawrence

We went out for beers and a couple of laughs

Knowin' 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 visitors 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 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 visitors 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 honour

And we ain't missed a home game yet

Had that Camero at 110 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
