Hey brother
get yourself together
Don't you wait
Can' t you see
I'm waiting in the shadows
to take your place
There is a chance
that I'd keep t rying
to tell you the truth,
would end up lying to you
Chorus
You said you were late
and I planned my e scape
Such a happy thing
just another one of m y mistakes
So you held your b reathe
and you cursed the west
said you had no ch oice
You're moving back east wh ere men are men
Your mother
never found a reason
to hesitate
Now your waiting
For a warmer welcome
in coldest days
Chorus
Love's got no border
why don't you feel free
to c ross my state line
and bring yourself to m e?
It's a hell of a struggle
Been g rounded for years
Words that I use up to
oh for lonely ears
