In Case I Ain't Around

I send the check for the lease every January
To 1100 Beckham Ridge Road
Have your corn knee-high by July
Where we hunt the bottom by the white-oak grove
Before you crank the tractor, pump the clutch
I ain't going nowhere no time soon, but just

In case I ain't around when you get older
I just thought I'd tell you now, so down the road, you're
All good to go through the highs and lows
And all life's up and downs
Yeah, that way, I'm still there for you, somehow
In case I ain't around

Make sure y'all all still eat together
At your mama's after church Sunday
Throw the dog a ball, take a walk, and call
Your brother if you had a hard day
When the dogwoods bloom, ya best be fishing
When it's my time to die, boy, don't stop living

In case I ain't around when you get older
I just thought I'd tell you now, so down the road, you're
All good to go through the highs and lows
And all life's up and downs
Yeah, that way, I'm still there for you, somehow
In case I ain't around

I just hope ya know that I'm proud of ya
I wanna make sure that you know I love ya

In case I ain't around when you get older
I just thought I'd tell you now, so down the road, you're
All good to go through the highs and lows
And all life's up and downs
Yeah, that way, I'm still there for you, somehow
Yeah, that way, I'm still there for you, somehow
In case I ain't around
In case I ain't around
