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
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

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
