Ride Till the End

Verse

Started out on the wrong side of the tracks,

I was the man he'd call when he needed a sack.

Funny how life can rewrite every page,

Now he's my brother, and that ain't gonna change.

Verse

He's loud, he's wild, got a laugh that shakes the room,

Turns bad days into memories way too soon.

If the world comes crashing through my door,

I know Vern's already headed for the war.

Chorus

Here's to the brothers that life didn't choose,

The ones that show up when you've got everything to lose.

We've been through hell, we've survived the fire,

Still raising hell and never getting tired.

Blood ain't the only thing that makes family true—

I'd ride till the end of this road with you.

Verse

He once called me up, "Brother, cover my back.

If my old lady calls, stick to the facts."

So I told her every word he'd told me to say...

Then that fool confessed before the end of the day!

She stayed mad at me for nearly a month,

While he just grinned like it was all a stunt.

Verse

We both got ADHD, can't finish one thought,

"Squirrel!"—there goes another plan we forgot.

Half our conversations never reach the end,

But somehow we always know where we've been.

Verse

He keeps me honest when I start to slide,

Calls me on my crap with nowhere to hide.

Not because he has to—because that's what brothers do,

The kind that'll tell you when you're acting a fool.

Chorus

Here's to the miles and the stories we'll tell,

The laughs that carried us straight through hell.

Started as strangers on a different road,

Now we're family with a lifetime to go.

If anyone asks who stood by me when life got rough,

I'll point at Vern and say, "Brother... that's enough."
