If I Don't Make It Back - Tracy Lawrence

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 dont 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» blasting 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

We know you, you’ll pull through without a scratch

He pulled me aside in the parking 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» blasting 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 Light 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 110 on Red Rock Road

When the speakers blow

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
