Still My Best Friend

Well I turned on the radio today
Of course it was one of our songs
We used to belt out every lyric
Even though some of them were wrong
And I passed a couple kids
Playing down the street
I could tell that they were best friends
Yeah it's hard living in our hometown
Knowing that you don't exist

Cause every stop sign that I roll through
Every beer can that I crush
Every time I pass a Ford Ranger
I see sixteen year old us
And when I look into your Dad
And your brother's eyes
God it makes me want to tear my skin
Cause you're in Heaven not here
But you're still my best friend

Who's gonna pick me up when I'm feeling down
Tell a funny joke to this crowd
Get in a fight out back over wrong and right
Yeah you were one of those guys
Who's gonna stand up tall
And grab the spotlight
Buy all the beers and pick up the chicks
Yeah it's hard walking into this bar
Knowing that you don't exist

Cause every stop sign that I roll through
Every beer can that I crush
Every time I pass a Ford Ranger
I see sixteen year old us
And when I look into your Dad
And your brother's eyes
God it makes me want to tear my skin
Cause you're in Heaven not here
But you're still my best friend

I wish I could hear you tell
One of your famous jokes
While you light up a cigarette
And I'm choking on the smoke

Cause every stop sign that I roll through
Every beer can that I crush
Every time I picture your face
Boy I fall in love
And when I look into your son's big blue eyes
It makes me want to tear my skin
Cause you're in Heaven not here
But you're still my best friend
You're in heaven not here
But I'll always be
Your best friend
