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 should've told your cousin"

For 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
