That guy right there was my best friend And he knows it When it comes to love we were tough didn't say it But we'd show it In that picture there we were up to no good We were way too young To be out on the town with the rough crowd And stay out til the rising sun We knew someday that we'd have to change But since you didn't make it to that day I think about the home team quarterback And all those good times that we had When a back porch and a six-pack is all we'd need Just long necks and long weekends My best times are the ones you're in And right now I can't help but think Why do the good guys gotta leave That picture there she's in his hands His little baby girl And I hoped one day he'd have the chance To show her the world I guess no one knew what was going on They couldn't feel his pain Waking up to that phone call he's gone I feel the same We knew someday that we'd have to change But since you didn't make it to that day I think about the home team quarterback And all those good times that we had When a back porch and a six-pack is all we'd need Just long necks and long weekends My best times are the ones you're in And right now I can't help but think Why do the good guys gotta leave The good guys gotta leave If he was here right now I know what he'd say Make sure they remember me that way As the home team quarterback And all those good times that we had When a back porch and a six-pack is all we'd need Just long necks and long weekends My best times are the ones you're in And right now I can't help but think Why do the good guys gotta leave The good guys gotta leave
