I Should Have Called You Brother
I Should Have Been Real Close
You Know I Loved You Brother
Enough to Take Over Your Post
I Guess It's Always With Me
I Guess It Will Always Be There
When I Step On the Runway I Always Will See
The Boy With the Thousand Yard Stare
But You Where Asleep My Brother
I Didn't Mean You no Harm
You Where Asleep
When They Came Through the Wire
And I Couldn't Reach the Alarm
You'll Never Leave Me Brother
Though I Watched Them Fly You Back Home
I'm Still in Country Brother
I Won't Make the World On My Own
I Guess It's Always With Me
I Guess It Will Always Be There
When I Step On the Runway I Always Will See
The Boy With the Thousand Yard Stare
