Anthony

I still see that shy boy in the summer crowd

Ozzfest '97, with the music playing loud

From the very first moment that I laid eyes on you

I knew you were my soulmate, and my heart just knew

We started a fire that has never gone cold

Anthony, my best friend, my handsome steady rock

You protect me from the world when the hard times knock

When the heavy clouds gather without a warning

You say, "Everything will be alright in the morning"

I've been missing those days riding shotgun with you

Singing all of our songs as the highway flew

Just a brilliant man and his girl in the cab of a truck

Thirty-two years together, I can't believe my luck

You still look at me with that same sweet smile

Anthony, my best friend, my handsome steady rock

You protect me from the world when the hard times knock

When the heavy clouds gather without a warning

You say, "Everything will be alright in the morning"

You're the smartest guy that I have ever known

With a quiet kind of strength that is all your own

Since the day we met, you've been my shield and my guide

And I feel so safe whenever I'm by your side

Anthony, my best friend, my handsome steady rock

You protect me from the world when the hard times knock

When the heavy clouds gather without a warning

You say, "Everything will be alright in the morning"

Yeah, with you, everything is alright in the morning
