Well she comes 'round the corner in his beat-up truck
Sun-kissed hair, cut-off jeans, she's struck
Long tan legs, I can't help but stare
My best friend's girl with that blue-eyed glare
Late nights at the bonfire she's always there
Laughin' with the guys, crackin' open another beer
She knows how to dance to a classic George Strait song
But I sit back 'cause she's not my date and it's wrong
She's my best friend's girl and it's plain to see,
She's got a hold on my heart but it ain't meant to be
So I'll crack a joke, give her a friendly cheer
Keep my distance but at the same time, stay dear
He took her fishin' last Saturday night
Caught more laughs than bass in the moonlight
I just stood back and watched them enjoy
Reminded myself I'm just a country boy
She's got a laugh that can light up a room
But she's his sunshine, his sunny afternoon
So I'll ride shotgun in their love parade
Content in knowing some lines can't be betrayed
She's my best friend's girl and it's plain to see
She's got a hold on my heart but it ain't meant to be
So I'll crack a joke, give her a friendly cheer
Keep my distance but at the same time, stay dear
He took her fishin' last Saturday night
Caught more laughs than bass in the moonlight

Reminded myself I'm just a country boy

Content in knowing some lines can't be betrayed
She's my best friend's girl and it's plain to see
She's got a hold on my heart but it ain't meant to be
So I'll crack a joke, give her a friendly cheer
Keep my distance but at the same time, stay dear
Keep my distance but at the same time I shed a tear
I shed a tear
