Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Old Ford tailgate, boots in red dirt Cooler in the shade by the barn Two poles leaned up on a fence post Sun going down, prayers in our arms Laugh ‘til we cry ‘bout nothing Dog sleeping by the tire It ain’t much, but it’s something That kind of peace you can’t buy [Chorus] When you need a hand, just call your buddy If your truck breaks down or your heart gets muddy Middle of the night or a Sunday morning I’ll be in the drive with the engine roaring From the back forty to the county fair If you’re standing there, man, I’m right there That’s what we do, that’s who we are, blood or not, we’re family Whatever you need, whatever you need Call your buddy [Verse 2] Saturday dawn in a cut corn field Coffee in a stained Styrofoam cup Whispering jokes in the timber line Till that first bird finally shows up Then it’s back to town by the river bank Casting lines where the stories start We talk big plans, small-town dreams You know my past, I know your scars [Chorus] When you need a hand, just call your buddy If your luck runs out or the road gets rutted Middle of a storm or a weekday morning I’ll pull you out, keep your fire burning From a barroom toast to your wedding day If you call my name, I’m on my way That’s what we do, that’s who we are, blood or not, we’re family Whatever you need, whatever you need Call your buddy [Bridge] Yeah, I’ll help you move that couch up three flights (oh yeah) I’ll sit on your porch when you ain’t alright We’ve been side by side since we were kids Ain’t a thing on earth gonna change what this is [Chorus] When you need a hand, just call your buddy If the world feels mean and your vision’s muddy Middle of your mess or the best day coming You ain’t alone, man, I’m still running From the first cold beer to the last old prayer If you’re standing there, man, I’m right there That’s what we do, that’s who we are, blood or not, we’re family Whatever you need, whatever you need Call your buddy

country, Warm mid-tempo country with male vocals, twangy Telecaster and dobro fills, steady shuffle drums, and thick bass. Verses stay laid-back with storytelling and small-town imagery, chorus opens up with stacked harmonies and big sing-along energy. Light organ pad in the back; final chorus adds extra ad-libs and a lifted key feel for the last hook.
