It's not like I wouldn't dream,
If you had not shown the way
It's not like I wouldn't fight,
Not knowing 'bout your life
It's not like I wouldn't stand,
Right here with my friends

You threw us all a line,
When our days slipped away
You gave us of your time

Cause you were my hero,
My Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
And gave me something to hold on to
When I was growing up
You were the rock, in my life

It's not like I live my days
By every word you spoke
Like I'm up every night
Drinking with your ghost
It's not like I can't look back
Without moving on

But you threw us all a line
When our days slipped away
You gave us of your time

You were my hero, 
My Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
And gave us kids a chance to dream
Days when I had enough
You were the rock, in my life


You still throw me that line
As my days slip away
You give me of your time

You're still my hero,
My Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
You give me something to hold on to
As I'm still growing up
You are the rock, in my life
