Letra If i don't make it back Bobby Pinson

If i don't make it back

We went out for beers and a couple laughs, knowin' full well that every bad joke
Jimmy told could 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 when he held up his glass
Said boys, if I don't make it back

Chorus:
Have a beer for me, don't waste no tears on me
On Friday nights sit on the visitor side and cheer for the home team
Drive my camaro ninety miles an hour down Red Rock Road
With Born to Run blastin' on the radio
Find someone good enough for Amy, who would 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 thru without a scratch
He pulled me aside in the parkin' lot, said Amy and me we're gonna tie the knot
And you're my best man, just wanted you to know that
In case I don't make it back

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
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 hundred and ten
On Red Rock Road when the speakers blowed
And I introducted Amy to a friend of mine from Monroe
He's a good old boy, ah but you know, she just ain't ready

Yeah, this place just ain't the same
Without that smoke-blowin', rain-joke-tellin'
Fist-fightin', always-smilin, dear friend to me
Hold 'em proud and hold 'em high, let him hear you in the sky
To one hell of a guy
Here's to Jimmy
Yeah we gonna miss ya man
