"My Best Friend (Walter's Song)" lyrics

Well today they put you in the ground
And I can't stand this damn town
Don't worry about me, I'm doing alright
All I ask for here tonight is

That I need you here
To steer me right when I'm not walking down the narrow line
Or tell me that there steers gonna run
I need you here
To drink some beer
Party all night until we can't see clear
And somehow walk all the way back home

Don't worry, my kids will know who you are
I'll tell them stories while I'm crying in my car
Forever and always gonna be my best friend
Now that you're up there I need to know something
Is that pub we used to drink at that burnt to the ground still bumping?
And everything else that's left this earth
Can you look after my old horses while I'm still here on earth?
Can you go and see my grandad
Tell him about all the times we had cause

I need you here
To steer me right when I'm not walking down the narrow line
Or tell me that there steers gonna run
I need you here
To drink some beer
Party all night until we can't see clear
And somehow walk all the way back home

Don't worry, my kids will know who you are
I'll tell them stories while I'm crying in my car
Forever and always gonna be my best friend
Forever and always
My best friend
