When I get the call at 2am
I put on my t-shirt inside out when I get out of bed
Just to be there
And I look for the car keys
On the floor somewhere under my undies
Trying to make sense of the dark and the call and the dirty laundry
Just to be there
I stumble to the car
Just to get to where you are
There'll be hours on the drive to rehearse the things I'll say
To make it better
When I've driven all the distance away
You should know
That you're not in this alone
I'm gonna have your back
Wherever you go
If it gets cold
You know, a little rain comes to us all
But I'm gonna have your back
Wherever you go
I'm gonna have your back wherever you go
With a servo coffee
And a packet of shapes to fuel me
While a song from the 80s playing on the radio reminds me
That I've got to be there
And the red tail lights
Lead me down the road
There's a long white line ahead screaming in Morse code
'You've got to be there'
And I'm driving in my car
Just to get to where you are
There'll be hours on the drive to rehearse the things I'll say
To make it better
When I've driven all the distance away
You should know
That you're not in this alone
I'm gonna have your back
Wherever you go
If it gets cold
You know, a little rain comes to us all
But I'm gonna have your back
Wherever you go
(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
I'm gonna have your back wherever you go
When the road is long
When your heart is heavy
When you're looking for a place to take a rest but you can't see any
I'll be there
You should know
That you're not in this alone
I'm gonna have your back
Wherever you go
If it gets cold
You know, a little rain comes to us all
But I'm gonna have your back
Wherever you go
(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
I'm gonna have your back wherever you go
