Brother to brother!

Tired from working overtime
You clear your mind trying to figure out
How much more you must climb
To find a way to reach happiness
Cannot settle for less, you're stressed

You think back in your youth
Trying to soothe the pain
Cuz down memory lane it don't rain
But a hurricane
Swept away your dreams and plans
Your last chance to glance
You're a victim of circumstance

There's no one to blame but yourself
You spend your nights in a lousy motel
Where the personnel never care to card
To see how old you really are

What's done is done, you must be strong
So just hang on!
You gotta move on and live on
You're young and bright
Close your eyes, turn off the light
Don't forget to give my niece a kiss goodnight

(¡Así es la vida!)
Brother to brother!

¡Hermano, mi querido hermano!

Baby's crying, mom's asleep
She's overworked
Her part-time job as a clerk will have to do
Till that tax refund comes through
You claimed eight instead of two

But your wife can't take it
And she's tired of faking it
She packs her bags and leaves you
Just ain't making it
You're not the husband
That she thought you would become
But leaving her kid
Don't make her much of a mom

Well
Now that your wife walked out of your world
How do you plan on raising your girl?
Being a dad, you've brought home the bread
But you never made her a bed

So, you're hanging by the phone, near the door
Looking out the window as the wind blows
But she's never coming back
She's much too smart for that

(¡Así es la vida!)
Brother to brother!
(¡Aunque nadie me lo crea!)
Brother to brother!
¡Hermano, mi querido hermano!
(¡Así es la vida!)
Brother to brother!

Well, little brother, you weren't prepared
For what life had in store
But there's much to live for
Cuz life is full of surprises
And when it brings you down
You just gotta keep rising

So, I'm still beside you, bro, twenty-four seven
To still remind you why a brother is worth having
Hermano, you've been there for me
And there's nothing I wouldn't do for my family

(¡Así es la vida!)
(Brother to brother!)
(¡Aunque nadie me lo crea!)
