Here’s to You

The last time that you came around

When you told me don’t give up, I swore I’d never let you down.

You’d say life it’s got your number so you’ better make it count

I guess you always kind of had it figured out.

But I still can’t believe you’re gone.

And goodbyes they feel so bad let’s keep it short and say so long.

If there’s no such thing as ghosts I really hope ya prove ’em wrong

And if ya’ do, then you can haunt me all ya’ want.

But you can’t cry with me no more.

And you may have lost the battle but I’m sure you won the war.

Chorus

So, let’s all scream and shout

We’re gonna pour some whiskey out for fallen comrades never coming home again.

And when I raise my glass to all the good times that we had

I’ll toast your memory until we meet again

So, here’s to you, my friend!

My heavy head turns toward the sky

Where your diamond’s shining in that jewelry box of paradise.

And these half-damp eyes ain’t never seen ‘em twinkle quite as bright

Before tonight, I wish I may I wish I might.

Yes, everybody plays a part.

You’re a halo for an angel or the devil’s joker card.

And heaven knows you ain’t no saint but kid ya' sure as hell had heart.

So, let’s just say that either way you left your mark.

So, order up another round

‘Cause it’s safe to say that I won’t see you later, so for now,

We're gonna scream and shout

We’re gonna pour some whiskey out for fallen comrades never coming home again.

And when I raise my glass to all the good times that we had

I’ll toast your memory until we meet again.

So, here’s to you, my friend!

Just promise me when it’s my time

You’ll save your tears and spread my restless, aimless ashes far and wide.

Down a winding, windy highway all across the countryside,

Riding shotgun on the greatest summer road trip of your life.

So, let’s all scream and shout

We’re gonna pour some whiskey out for fallen comrades never coming home again.

And when I raise my glass to all the good times that we had

I’ll toast your memory until we meet again.

So, here’s to you, my friend!
