Oh Brother, Where Have You Gone?

Oh brother where have you gone?
You up and left when the summer come,
You left me in winter, without any tinder,
Oh my brother where have you gone?
 
I remember when we were young,
To each other, through wars, we clung,
As we danced an’ sang, till morning came,
Oh I remember when we were young,
 
I remember when we’d start to fight,
Like rabid coyotes, one of us was right,
I chased you with a shovel, and got into trouble,
Oh I remember when we’d start to fight,
 
Then one day, time had passed,
We were young men living in the past,
The future was set, but much too tight,
For our wide steps which shone so bright,
 
As young men, women came and went,
Usually to damn hurtful to be proficient,
At easing the love we felt for them girls,
Oh heartbreak is a cold, terrible, world,
 
We grew as men, and it came to pass,
That one of us had leave and leave very fast,
You ran with tanks, I ran with the wind,
You ran with tanks, I ran with the wind,
 
But oh my brother where have you gone?
I’m all-alone with a broken shotgun,
My eyes are closing and all I can see,
Is us as children racing toward the sea,
 
I know so bad I done you wrong,
That’s why I went and wrote this song,
To ease the pain that brothers endure,
And to walk with you on heavenly shores,
 
Brother I know now that you’ve gone,
You had to leave just like I had done,
You ran with tanks, now run with the wind,
You ran with tanks, now run with the wind...
