Ol' Bert was a friend of mine

Lyrics

Title: “Bert Was a Good Friend” [Verse 1] The old boy was a friend of mine, All right, mighty kind every time. If I ever needed help at two a.m., There he was, sayin’ “Brother, jump in.” Grease on his hands, laugh in his eyes, Taught me roads and rivers, how a line don’t lie. Changed my brakes, showed me how to steer, Made hard things easy with another beer. [Chorus] Yeah, Bert was a pretty good friend to me, Big grin, big heart, wild and free. He’d laugh so loud you’d forget the rain, Leave tire marks and memories in every lane. He ain’t gone far, he’s just ahead, In the stories we tell and the jokes we said. [Verse 2] He loved those kids like the sun loves June, Coolest dad in the room, always too soon. April by his side, steady and true, Built a life on love and a laugh or two. Fishing lines, campfire smoke, Hunting tales and inside jokes. Missin’ him bad, yeah we all do, But he’d say, “Hey now, smile it through.” [Chorus] ’Cause Bert was a pretty good friend to me, Lift you up with a laugh and a little mischief, see. If heaven’s got a back road and a muddy bend, You know Bert’s there, bein’ Bert again. [Outro] So raise one high, let the good times roll, We’ll carry his name in our rock-n-roll. Till we meet again, on that long dirt road, Bert lives on in the love he showed.
