If something should happen

If something should happen Lyrics

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 death
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 pass 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
