New Song: Brother



Brother [2011] Spiritual Rock
I am the train whose brakes have failed
The Prodigal son blues
Downloads     mp3     lyrics (pdf)     chords (pdf)


Raise the curtain, set the scene
Our Father, my brother and I make three
One I loved, couldn't stomach the other
Couldn't look at my Dad without seeing my brother
My brother, he didn't do a damn thing wrong 
My brother, he never did a damn thing wrong 
Took the fast train to the wrong side of the tracks
Broke my father's heart and I broke the bank
My head was hot but my heart was cold 
My brother you cast a long shadow over my soul 
My brother, he didn't do a damn thing wrong 
My brother, he never did a damn thing wrong 
My brother, he didn't do a damn thing wrong 
My brother, he never did a damn thing wrong 
It's all my fault

Hit rock bottom, rock bottom fell through
Wound up in a pig sty trying to eat pig food
Money dried up and my friends all gone
Retrace my steps to where it all went wrong
It's all my fault, it's all my fault
My brother, he didn't do a damn thing wrong 
My brother, he never did a damn thing wrong 
My brother, he didn't do a damn thing wrong 
Never did a day's wrong in his whole life

But right, right, right, right
Right is more than the absence of wrong
And love is more than the absence of hate
And that my brother, my brother didn't do a damn thing wrong
Is the best that I can say, the best that I can say
I am the train whose brakes have failed
The roller-coaster that jumped the rails
Patron saint of every prodigal son
Parental heartbreaker number one 
Busted shoes on a dusty road
Who should I meet but a well shod ghost?
I'm going back to where he's coming from
Lord have mercy, I look so young...
