Brother

One night when I was driving
From the place I used to go
Saw a pair of head lights
And a car I didn't know

I pulled over, asked the driver
Hey man, where you going?
He said, I don't know
But I need to get there

You see, this truck is all but broken
And my life is just the same
How do I even bother?
When my kid's don't know my name

I'm not trying to make excuses
Don't wanna pass on all the blame
But I don't know
How did I get here??

He said
Say a prayer
For me now
Won't you brother?
I'm so lost
Say it loud
Like my mother

I can't speak
I'm too proud
Like my father
Say a prayer
For me now
Won't you brother?
So we drove a little further
To a place I'd been before
Like cold water it hit me
When he opened up the door

To a small house in the country
There were pictures on the wall
Of places I remember
And people I recall

He said, son you're nothing like me
But I'm so glad that you're here
Then he cried and said, I'm sorry
And I've missed you all these years
And I don't know
How did we get here?
Before you go
Can we just sit here?

He said say a prayer
For me now
Won't you brother?
I'm so lost say it loud like my mother
I can't speak I'm too proud
Like my father say a prayer
For me now
Won't you brother?
He said say a prayer for me now
Won't you brother?

I'm so lost
Say it loud like my mother
I can't speak I'm too proud
Like my father say a prayer
For me now
Won't you brother?

He said say a prayer
For me now
Won't you brother?
I'm so lost
Say it loud like my mother
I can't speak, I'm too proud
Like my father say a prayer
For me now
Won't you brother?
