Intro

Buddy, you and me go way back

Thank God they caught it fast

But if something should (*) happ en

Stop (*) in sometime and say hello to Cather ine

You and Mary Ann could al ways keep her laughin'

She's gonna need alot of that

Take her out to (*) movi

It's gonna (*) take some time be fore she's back on her feet

I know you think that I'll be fine and I'm talkin' cr azy

But there's always that chance

That's why I'm askin'

If something should happen

He's gonna (/) need someone to catch a pass

And to throw it back

If something should (*) happ en

(*) Promise me you'll take that boy out camp in'

And throw a line out in the water every now and then

Answer any questions that he has

You could (*) sit and have that first cold beer to geth Dsus2 er

And tell him a couple stories on his father
