Keep your eyes on them rolling wheels 15 solid forward gears They glide like butterflies down the highway They'll move you down the line They'll bring you home in time They'll sing you songs of love returning Oh, our brother's gone away Now he can't play like he used to But his words still ring true They curl like dust clouds on the roadside He's been broken by a heart But still does not live apart From all the sorrow he has shown me Oh, our brother's gone away Don't you wish that he could stay? To walk you to the county line To see you shining in your time Don't you wish there was a way? Like a kid who's been out throwing stones Into a river close to home I've taught myself to trust the melody So I sing when I've got the time First to lose and then to find If I don't make it, don't you worry Oh, our brother's gone away Don't you wish that he could stay? To walk you to the county line To see you shining in your time Don't you wish there was a way? ♪ Oh, our brother's gone away Don't you wish that he could stay? To see you finally settled down To see your children gathered round Don't you wish there was a way?
