Hey Brother Lyrics

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
That i'll keep tryin'
To tell you the truth
But end up lyin' to you

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 had a reason to hesitate
Now you're waiting for a warmer welcome in colder states
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
Love's got no 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
The words that i use up to, oh
For your ears
