Buddy, you and me go way back
Camp LeGuene, all through high school and before that
So I don't mind tellin' you I'm scared to death
The doctor's goin' in on the twenty-fifth
It's the same thing that my daddy had; thank God they caught it fast
But if somethin' should happen
Stop in sometime and say hello to Catherine
You and Mary Ann could always keep her laughin'
And she's gonna need a lot of that
Take her out to a movie
It's gonna take some time before she's back on her feet
I know you think I'll be fine and I'm talkin' crazy
But there's always a chance, that's why I'm askin',
Could you do that for me if something should happen?
Little Nathan's growin' up so fast
This November he'll turn ten and he wants to play quarter back
I'm supposed to coach his team this fall
But, I may not get to after all
He's gonna need someone to catch a pass and throw it back
If somethin' should happen
Promise me you'll take that boy out campin'
And throw a line out in the water every now and then
And answer any questions that he has
And maybe once he gets older
You could sit and have that first cold beer together
And tell him a couple stories on his father
He's always known you're my best friend, that's why I'm askin'
If something should happen?
I hope I live until I'm eighty
And I get to see my son get married
And have babies and make a million more memories with my wife
Yeah, buddy, I pray you're right
But if it's my time to leave could you watch over them for me?
If something should happen
If something should happen
If something should happen
If something should happen
