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 trying

to tell you the truth, 

would end up lying to you


CHORUS

You said you were late

and I planned my escape

Such a happy thing

just another one of my mistakes

So you held your breathe

and you cursed the west

said you had no choice

You're moving back east where 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 cross my state line

and bring yourself to me?


It's a hell of a struggle

Been grounded for years

Words that I use up to 

oh for lonely ears


CHORUS
