The Brothers

Several years ago

He gave up everything that mattered

And rambled off to Nashville Tennessee

With a pocket full of country songs

And his old guitar

He thought that's where he was supposed to be

But the family stood here waiting and his songs are getting faded

There's probably not a nickel in his jeans

But if he don't get good enough

To sing his way back home

He knows that he can always count on me

Momma is Joe still driving

Them old nails out in Colorado

Lord I always thought a-lot of him

You know maybe someday

Me and this old guitar

Just might happen to get lucky

And I'll get a chance to go back and visit my old friends

Did Sonny get that ranch he always wanted

That's my boy

Lord, I used to want to be a cowboy to

But I'm still stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older

Mostly I always think about you

I wonder where he'd be right now

If he was not a dreamer

And if he was just

A little more like me

He wouldn't be in Nashville

Reaching for the stars

And wishing things were like they used to be

Mom is Joe still driving

Them old nails in Colorado

I always thought alot of him

Maybe someday

Me and this old guitar

Is gonna happen to get lucky

And ill come back and visit my old friends

Mom did Sonny get that ranch that he always wanted down by Boulder

I used to want to be a cowboy to

Mom I'm stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older

But mostly I been thinking about you
