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
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
