Brother of Mine Lyrics

Well I left as soon as I heard him yelling in their room

I took his knife, my bible, and left the rest

Thinking I would be home soon

I never believed my father, when he said that I was blessed

I’ve been on the road so long and lonely now

I think it must have been a curse

And I been workin’ so hard, so hard to find

Some way to make up for the past and straighten out … these crooked lines

I once dreamed of travelin’ and not knowing just where I was

Now I wake up late in the afternoon

Confused, spinning with drugs

I’ll take any pleasure, any pleasure that I can find

I know this will kill me Lord

If you would be so kind

And I been workin’ so hard, so hard to find

Some way to make up for the past and straighten out … these crooked lines

I got so many …. Crooked lines

And I got no use for these riches that I have found

I got no appetite for the decadence that surrounds me now

Without that brother of mine….how can I be blessed?

Without that brother of mine…
