Song For Rudy

[Intro] [Verse 1] We wrote our names on summer nights, Invisible ink, but it shined so bright. You drew the map, I stole the keys, Backroads and fireflies, we’d never leave. Laughs like a melody, secrets in rhyme, Two rebels painting over the lines. But the world tried to fade our parade, Still, you stayed—my **Rudy**—never swayed. [Chorus] So here’s to the messes we’ve outrun, The battles you fought, the wars we’ve won. “Friends like you don’t come twice,” they say, But I’ll rewrite that script every day. Oh, Rudy, it’s your song, no disguise, A love letter cut through life’s gray skies. And if the stars forget our old refrain, I’ll sing it louder, carve your name. [Verse 2] You held the umbrella in the storm’s chase, Danced in the downpour, laughed in my face. Scraped knees, high tides, and third-degree burns, Every heartbreak, you turned to lessons learned. Now strangers whisper, “Who’s that guy?” I just smile, “The one who taught me to fly.” ‘Cause loyalty’s your middle name, And I’ll shout it till the world knows the same. [Chorus] So here’s to the messes we’ve outrun, The battles you fought, the wars we’ve won. “Friends like you don’t come twice,” they say, But I’ll rewrite that script every day. Oh, Rudy, it’s your song, no disguise, A love letter cut through life’s gray skies. And if the stars forget our old refrain, I’ll sing it louder, carve your name. [Bridge] Time’s a thief, but we’ve got receipts— Polaroid proof, mixtapes on repeat. Through every c***h, every fall from grace, You’re the constant in this endless race. [Outro]
