My Brother

You left my brother Came back a man Should hear our proud father Speak of you How you’ve done him And momma proud Sister Jane and Katherine Down the block Never seem to have anything But you to talk about Oh if you only knew the loving All the girls around here Say you’ve missed It’s a good bet You’d never have left But leave you did Nothing can change that now In a way it’s good to know Exactly where you are We need never again worry If that old truck of yours broke down Leaving you to walk home in the rain It’s a good thing really Now we can all get some sleep Granted, not as much as you But we will in our due time Just want you to know These tags of yours Will never leave my neck You, will never leave my heart For no matter why you left Or how you came back You still are And will always be My brother
