My Brother

As a kid he dreamed of foreign lands
So he enlisted and he went to Japan
Four months of cruising in the Arctic Sea
Can make a sailor feel like TNT

He never used to keep his bedroom clean
But now he's livin' on a submarine
Has to sleep with a torpedo and it makes him sore
Cause the bunks are really short and he's 6 foot 4

Oh-oh-oh, when's my brother comin' home?
Oh-oh-oh, when's my brother comin' home?
Oh-oh-oh, when's my brother comin' home?
Oh-oh-oh, when's my brother comin' home?

Came to Alberta left the USA
The old place was now a thousand miles away
Then our folks split up and each made a separate life
Mom found a new man, Dad got a new wife.

Oh-oh-oh, when's my brother comin' home?
Oh-oh-oh, when's my brother comin' home?
Oh-oh-oh, when's my brother comin' home?
Oh-oh-oh, when's my brother comin' home?

When he left we still had 45's
Elvis was the King and all the Beatles were alive
Disco came but it was killed until it came back as house
And Nobody was dreaming of Alison Kraus

Had two Bushes and some wars and it was nothing new
Big slap in the face to vets of War War II
Everybody borrows money like there is no end
By now it's clear a banker cannot be your friend

Oh Oh OH
I guess he's never comin' home
Oh OH Oh My brother's never comin' home
Oh Oh OH
I guess he's never comin' home
Oh OH Oh My brother's never comin' home
