Still Got Your Back

Hey, it's me — no big news Just checking the old pact still holds We drew a border down the back seat Went to war over the last waffle every time But when the street kids picked a target You found me standing in the line We never signed it, never said it Didn't need the words back then I still got your back, you know Same as the driveway days Different city, same old promise It didn't fade, it never fades Call me at midnight, call me for nothing Wherever you're at — I still got your back You covered for me with the broken window I covered you the night you missed curfew bad We grew up swapping blame and borrowed sweaters Best deal either of us ever had We never signed it, never said it Didn't need the words back then I still got your back, you know Same as the driveway days Different city, same old promise It didn't fade, it never fades Call me at midnight, call me for nothing Wherever you're at — I still got your back Someday our kids will fight over a waffle And we'll catch each other's eye across the room Two old allies grinning at the rerun — The pact gets handed down, it's never through I still got your back, you know Same as the driveway days Different city, same old promise It didn't fade, it never fades Call me at midnight, call me for nothing Wherever you're at — I still got your back Hey, it's me — that's all Just don't forget it
