Buddy, you and me go way back Camp Lejuene, all through high school and before that So I dont mind tellin' you I'm scared to d**h The doctor's going in on the twenty-fifth It's the same thing my daddy had, thank God they caught it fast (Chorus) But if something should happen Stop in sometime and say hello to Catherin You and Mary Ann culd always keep her laughin' And she's gonna need alot of that Take her our to a movie It's gonna take some time before she's back on her feet I know you think that I'll be fine and I'm talkin' crazy But there's always that chance, that's why I'm asking If something should happen Little Nathan's growing up so fast This November he'll turn 10, he wants to play quarterback I'm suposed to coach his team this fall But I may not get to after all
He's gonna need sometome to catch a pa** and to throw it back (Chorus) But if something should happen Promise me you'll take that boy out camping And throw a line out in the water every now and then Answer any questions that he has 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
