Lyrics of If I don't make it back by Tracy Lawrence

 

 

Buddy you and me go way back

Camp Lejeune, all through high school and before that.

So I don't mind tellin' you I'm scared to death.

The doctor is goin' in on the 25th

It's the same thing my daddy had

Thank God they caught it fast.

 

But if somethin' should happen

Stop in some time and say hello to Catherine

You and Marianne could always keep her laughing

Because she's gonna need a lot of that

Take her out to a movie

It's gonna take sometime before she's back on her feet.

I know you think I'll be fine and I'm talkin' crazy

But there's always that chance

That's why I'm askin'

If something should happen

 

Little Nathan is growing up so fast

This November he'll turn 10

He wants to play quarterback.

I'm supposed to coach his team this fall

But I may not get to afterall

He's gonna need someone to catch a pass

And to throw it back

 

If something should happen

Oh promise me you'll take that boy out campin'

Throw a line out in the water every now and then

Answer and questions that he has

Maybe once he gets older

You can sit and have that first cold beer together

And tell him a couple stories on his father

He's always known your 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 some babies

And make a million more memories with my wife.

Yeah buddy I pray alright

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

If something should happen

If something should happen
