Hey Brother

Hey brother

Get yourself together

Don't you wait

Can't you see

I'm waiting in the shadows

To take your place

There is a chance

But I'll keep trying

To tell you the truth

Then end up lying to you

Chorus:

You said you were late

And I planned my escape

Such a happy thing

Just another one of my mistakes

So you held your breath

And you cursed the west

Said you had no choice

You're moving back east where men are men

Your mother

Never found a reason

To hesitate

Now you're waiting

For a warmer welcome

In colder states

chorus

Love's got the border

Why don't you feel free

To cross my state line

And bring yourself to me

It's a hell of a struggle

Been grounded for years

Words that I use up to, oh

For your ears

chorus
