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'll keep tryin' To tell you the truth But end up lyin' to you You said you were late And i planned my escape Such a happy thing Just another one of my mistakes So you held your breath And you cursed the west Said you had no choice You're moving back east where men are men Your mother never had a reason to hesitate Now you're waiting for a warmer welcome in colder states You said you were late And i planned my escape Such a happy thing Just another one of my mistakes So you held your breath And you cursed the west Said you had no choice You're moving back east where men are men Love's got no border Why don't you feel free To cross my state line And bring yourself to me? It's a hell of a struggle Been grounded for years The words that i use up to, oh For your ears
