Brother

Fourteen years have passed since that day

Your stories are the same but the ends have all changed

You carried on like you were some type of god

Some things will never change

We went home to see our folks

We laughed and we told jokes

It was like we were young again

On that deathbed our mother lay

How long she's got they still can't say

It took all this to get us back together again

How long is this going to last

You can't keep reliving your past

Screwing over the ones that you lone

In the name of some new drug

So brother, raise another pint

Rev up the engine and drive off in the night

See you somewhere some place some time

I know there's better brothers but you're the only one that's mine

I know there's better brothers but you're the only one that's mine

The bondsman came to my door early the next day

He said "I come lookin' for you brother

You don't know what kind of trouble that he's in"

How long is this going to last

You can't keep reliving your past

Johnny law keeps a poundin' at my door

'Cause you screwed up some new score

So he's standing in the doorway like he owns the place

With a look of smug satisfaction on his face

I'm gonna give you up

Of that he's sure as hell

But I take one look at him and I know I'll never tell

So brother, raise another pint

Rev up the engine and drive off in the night

See you somewhere some place some time

I know there's better brother's but you're the only one that's mine

So brother, raise another pint

Rev up the engine and drive off in the night

I still look out for you no matter what you heard.

They can knock all of my doors down but I won't say a word.

They can knock all of my doors down but I won't say a word.

Fourteen years have passed since that day and still nothing has changed.
