Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's not like I wouldn't dream
If you had not shown the way
It's not like I wouldn't fight
Not knowin' 'bout your life
It's not like I wouldn't stand
Right here with my friends
[Verse 2]
You threw us all alive
When our days slipped away
You gave us of your time
[Verse 3]
'Cause you were my hero, my Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
And gave me somethin' to hold onto
When I was growin' up you were the rock
In my life
[Verse 4]
It's not like I live my days
By every word you spoke
Like I'm up every night
Drinkin' with your ghost
It's not like I can't look back
Without movin' on
[Verse 5]
You threw us all alive
When our days slipped away
You gave us of your time
[Verse 6]
You were my hero, my Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
And gave us a kids a chance to dream
Days when I had enough, you were the rock
In my life
[Verse 7]
You still throw me that line
As my days slip away
You give me of your time
[Verse 8]
You're still my hero, my Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
You give me somethin' to hold onto
As I'm still growin' up you are the rock
In my life
