He was old school, a son and a flannel
Took me with him, slidin' middle of the road
I was tryin' to get me one for the mantle
He was tryin' to feel the frigid air, oh
We met back at his C-10 custom He was waitin' with a doe and a beard
I said I coulda killed a dozen of them He said,
hell,
I ain't one either
He told me,
hold the light,
pulled out a buck knife
We talked about life while I held the left leg
Went from girls to God,
politics and dogs Said I've been lost,
so Uncle Joe said
If you're gonna be a friend Be a friend like Skull,
always there in a pinch
If you're gonna love a woman,
you got to love her like a Chevy,
but instead of like a rock
If something's on your mind,
you got something to say
Do it like you're Brownin',
try to shoot them straight
Hell, just look around you
Be Skull, Chevy, and Brownin'
Said that's some * I shoulda told your
cousin Before he got caught up in that mess
Wherever he is, I hope he knows I love him
I just hate to see you be next
Said that's enough of that Threw a backstrap on a hot black cast iron
Skillet with some dills While I was half beer drinkin' and half clear
thinkin' to myself If you're gonna be a friend
Be a friend like Skull,
always there in a pinch If you're gonna love a woman,
you got
to love her like a Chevy,
but instead of like a rock
If something's on your mind,
you got something to say
Do it like you're Brownin',
try to shoot them straight
Hell, just look around you
Be Skull, Chevy, and Brownin'
Now he was old school,
a son and a flannel Took me with him,
flat middle of the road
I was tryin' to get me one for the mantle
But I left for somethin' better in a truck
If you're gonna be a friend Be a friend like Skull,
always there in a pinch
If you're gonna love a woman,
you got to love her like a Chevy,
but instead of like a rock
If something's on your mind,
you got something to say Do it like you're Brownin',
try to shoot them straight
Hell,
just look around you Be Skull,
Chevy,
and Brownin'
A simple-ass Skull, Chevy, and Brownin'
