Me and My Brother

me and my brother work for the city, we fix the buses on the graveyard shift
we drive home sir, across the river, the red sun rising like heaven's gift
me and my brother live in a rental, with the ghost of our father and the ghost of our dreams
me and my brother work for the city, we watch the sun rise while our knuckles bleed

hey hey
I've gotta go man, I gotta go

hey hey
I got to roll man, I got to roll

me and my brother we met this angel, I loved her dearly, I loved her true
but my brother, his tongue is silver, for him the words flow, for me they never do
me and my brother, we met this angel, she worked at that diner, the one that's open all night
they got no money so I guess I'll loan them, It'll make them happy but it'll leave me dry

and there are words that are not spoken
like some old bird that's never flown
there are bonds that won't be broken
cause blood is everything, blood is everything

well my brother, he married the angel, moved in with her family down in New Orleans
now this old rental it sure gets lonesome, with the ghost of our father and the ghost of our dreams
