If I Don't Make It Back Lyrics - Lawrence Tracy

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
