If Something Should Happen

Buddy you and I 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 something should happen

Stop in some time and say hello to Catherine

You and Marianne could always keep her laughing

Because shes gonna need a lot of that

Take her out to a movie

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

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

But theres 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 any 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 80

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 alright

But if it's my time to leave

Could you watch over them for me?
