I've got your back
Lisa Campbell 1966 (Ohio)
I’VE GOT YOUR BACK
From playground to cap and gown
We grew up together best friends forever
Two girls in a sleepy small town
From riding bicycles to driving cars
Getting fake Id’s and sneaking into bars
Wild and free we shared everything
Our darkest secrets and fantasy’s
I’m your ride or die
Don’t ever question that
Whatever you need
You know I’ve got your back
The pinky swears and double dog dares
Make ups, break ups, the I don’t cares’
Through good and bad
I’ll always be there
You’re my best friend
I’ve got your back
We turned eighteen and everything changed
Our dreams were different and we went our separate ways
10 years later your husband up and left
The next day I was at your door step
We walked and talked
And cried and cried
Hand in hand
Side by Side
I’m your ride or die
Don’t ever question that
Whatever you need
You know I’ve got your back
The pinky swears and double dog dares
Make ups, break ups, the I don’t cares’
Through good and bad
I’ll always be there
You’re my best friend
I’ve got your back
