He was old-school as huntin' in a flannel
+
Took me with him slap middle of the rut
+
I was tryin' to get me one for the mantle
+
He was tryin' to fill the Frigidaire up
+
We met back at his C-10 custom
+
He was waitin' with a doe and a beer
+
I said, "I coulda killed a dozen of 'em"
+
He said, "Hell, why ain't one here?"
+
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'd been lost, so Uncle Joe said
+
"If you're gonna be a friend
+
Be a friend like Skoal, always there in a pinch
+
If you're gonna love a woman, you got
+
To love her like a Chevy, buddy, steady like a rock
+
If something's on your mind, got somethin' to say
+
Do it like your Browning, try to shoot 'em straight
+
Hell, just look around ya, be Skoal, Chevy, and Browning"
+
Said, "That's some shit I shoulda told your cousin
+
'Fore he got caught up in that mess
+
Wherever he is, I hope he knows I love him
+
I'd just hate to see you be next"
+
Said, "That's enough of that," threw a back strap
+
On a hot black cast iron skillet with some Dale's
+
While I was half beer drinkin' and half clear thinkin' to myself
+
If you're gonna be a friend
+
Be a friend like Skoal, always there in a pinch
+
If you're gonna love a woman, you got
+
To love her like a Chevy, buddy, steady like a rock
+
If something's on your mind, got somethin' to say
+
Do it like your Browning, try to shoot 'em straight
+
Hell, just look around ya, be Skoal, Chevy, and Browning
+
Yeah, he was old-school as huntin' in a flannel
+
Took me with him slap middle of the rut
+
I was tryin' to get me one for the mantle
+
But I left with somethin' better in the truck
+
If you're gonna be a friend
+
Be a friend like Skoal, always there in a pinch
+
If you're gonna love a woman, you got
+
To love her like a Chevy, buddy, steady like a rock
+
If something's on your mind, you've got somethin' to say
+
Do it like your Browning, try to shoot 'em straight
+
Hell, just look around ya, be Skoal, Chevy, and Browning
+
Be simple as Skoal, Chevy, and Browning
+
