MY BEST FRIEND

PLAYING FOOTBALL IN THE YARD;
SKATEBOARDING ON THE DRIVE.
WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN INSPERABLE;
SEEMS SINCE WE'VE BEEN ALIVE.

BASKETBALL AT THE SCHOOL;
DOUBLING ON OUR DATES.
CUTTING THE WEEDS OUT OF THE BEANS;
CHASING GIRLS ON ROLLERSKATES.

HUNTING TURKEYS IN THE SPRING;
DRAG RACING OUR CARS.
OR TELLING OLD CHILDHOOD STORIES;
WHILE DRINKING AT THE BARS.

JUST WANTING TO HEAR YOU VOICE;
ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE.
YOU BRAGGING ABOUT YOUR KIDS;
ME BRAGGING TO YOU ABOUT MINE.

DOING SOME OTHER THINGS;
THAT WOULD MAKE OUR MOTHERS MAD.
BEING A LITTLE ORNREY;
NOT REALLY BEING BAD.

SHARING LIFE WITH MY BEST FRIEND;
FOR YOU, THERE IS NOTHING I WON'T DO.
I KNOW IF I'M IN A BIND;
YOU'LL BE THERE FOR ME TOO.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE;
YOUR KINDNESS AND YOUR LOVE.
THANK YOU FOR THE MOTIVATION;
WHEN I NEEDED A LITTLE SHOVE.

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME LEVEL;
THROUGH THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE.
THANK YOU FOR STANDING BESIDE ME;
MY BEST MAN AS I TOOK MY WIFE.

THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH ME;
FROM BEGINNING, TILL THE END;
I LOVE YOU AND THANK GOD;
THAT YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND.
