Brother Through The Phone

Hey old friend
It's nice to hear from you
It's been a while
Since we shot the breeze like we used to
And work
It's been slow
We're booked for months, but time just seems to ramble when it's cold

Do you know
That old girl
That I said I was taking flowers
And to that side of the river where I go
Now I'm alone
I'm sure glad you called tonight
Cause I could use some brother through the phone

I'm doing alright, but I could be better
I know you've got a wife and job, so you can go whenever
But remember that night
We had perfect weather
We sat and counted constellations, slept on rocks, and saw the sunset and rise
Oh what I'd do, to be with you
Oh I could use some brother through the phone

My old dog
He's getting gray
Along with all the folks that we both love
That are aging by the day

And our old man
He's got the walk
That papa had when we were young
He's sure been through it all

He still don't know
Where you are
He said you called him bout' a week ago
You know our voice is fuel for his old heart
Mine ain't far
From running low, I miss you so
Oh I could use some brother through the phone

I'm doing alright, but I could be better
I know you've got a wife and job, so you can go whenever
But remember that night
We had perfect weather
We sat and counted constellations, slept on rocks, and saw the sunset and rise
I'm running low, I miss you so
Oh I could use some brother through the phone
