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
