My Brother

Through the faint misty drizzle of the cold night rain
A memory of us running through those Midwest plains
I remember your laughter as you rolled down the hill
And I was by your side all the way

I miss you my brother
Wish you never went away
The days are lonely without you
I miss you my brother
Wish you never went away
The days are lonely without you

Now, the bills are stacking up on my table
Past due notices - they cut my water, my cable
You walked out that night and left in anger
And never even said goodbye

I miss you my brother
Wish you never went away
The days are lonely without you
I miss you my brother
Wish you never went away
The days are lonely without you

I'm struggling to get by. Why did you go?
O dear Jim, my brother, oh why are you so
Goddamn stubborn? You never really knew
That you were always welcome home

I miss you my brother
Wish you never went away
The days are lonely without you
I miss you my brother
Wish you never went away
The days are lonely without you

I didn't forget what you did that night
But I did forgive - it was just a fight
I need you now - did you forget we swore
To always fight side by side?

I miss you my brother
Wish you never went away
The days are lonely without you
I miss you my brother
Wish you never went away
The days are lonely without you

As the days go by, the more I forget
Your face, your smile. Every day I regret
That it was you, not me, who died that night
In that fiery wreck off the road

I miss you my brother
Wish you never went away
The days are lonely without you
May you find peace
Wherever you are now
And know that I will love you forever
