We’ve fought our share of battles, we’ve walked through fire, Stood in the mud, never gettin’ tired. When the world turns mean, and the road gets black, I know Big Ed’s right there, watchin’ my back. We’re as steady as an old oak tree, Rooted down deep where the storms can’t reach. Not a step ahead, not a step behind, But shoulder to shoulder, every time. When the dust kicks up and the night turns black, We’re standin’ strong, back to back. He don’t sugarcoat it, tells it like it is, Faces down trouble with a stubborn grin. I ain’t sayin’ I’m weak, but I’ll say it’s true, When you stand with a brother, he stands with you. We’re as steady as an old oak tree, Rooted down deep where the storms can’t reach. Not a step ahead, not a step behind, But shoulder to shoulder, every time. When the dust kicks up and the night turns black, We’re standin’ strong, back to back. Don’t need big words, don’t need a song, It’s the way he’s stood by me all along. Through years gone by and the years ahead, I thank the Lord I’ve got Big Ed. We’re as steady as an old oak tree, Rooted down deep where the storms can’t reach. Not a step ahead, not a step behind, But shoulder to shoulder, every time. When the dust kicks up and the night turns black, We’re standin’ strong, back to back. Some call it luck, I call it grace, To find a friend you can trust that way. Through thick and thin, through hell and high tide, You’ll find us standin’ side by side. We’re as steady as an old oak tree, Rooted down deep where the storms can’t reach. Not a step ahead, not a step behind, But shoulder to shoulder, every time. When the dust kicks up and the night turns black, We’re standin’ strong, back to back. Yeah, me and Big Ed — back to back.
