The Man Beside Me

Verse 1

Concrete

Iron in his grip

He stands six foot tall and never lets a secret slip

Solid

Chris is a mountain

The kind of man that drinks from a rusty fountain

He won't flinch

No

When the storm clouds start to roll

He’s got a steady hand and a heavy soul

Thick skin

Rough hands

A heart made of gold

Chorus

He’s the Jim Beam in my glass

The Diet Coke that makes the morning last

Yeah he's a badass

Pure badass

The first one there when you’re swinging in the rain

The only one who calls to ease your pain

Chris Wittliff

My brother

My friend

Verse 2

Knuckles

White from the fray

He cleared the whole damn bar just to pave my way

Loyal

Like a hound

He won't ever let your spirit hit the ground

Happy birthday

Texting me

At the break of dawn

Before the coffee's hot or the day is gone

A killer

A saint

A man you can rely on

Chorus

He’s the Jim Beam in my glass

The Diet Coke that makes the morning last

Yeah he's a badass

Pure badass

The first one there when you’re swinging in the rain

The only one who calls to ease your pain

Chris Wittliff

My brother

My friend

Bridge

Give me the bottle

Pour me a double

Pour me a double

If I'm in trouble

I look to my left

I look to my right

I see Chris Wittliff ready for the fight

Chorus

He’s the Jim Beam in my glass

The Diet Coke that makes the morning last

Yeah he's a badass

Pure badass

The first one there when you’re swinging in the rain

The only one who calls to ease your pain

Chris Wittliff

My brother

My friend

Outro

Yeah he's a good dude

A real badass

Just pass me the beam

And raise up your glass

Wittliff is the man

Wittliff is the man
