[Verse 1]

We went out for beers and a couple 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

[Pre-Chorus]

And he said, "Boys, if I don't make it back..."

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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"

[Pre-Chorus]

Just in case I don't make it back

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

If the good Lord calls me home

I'd like to think my friends will think about me when I'm gone

[Outro]

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 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
