Rusty Old Bracelet Lyrics

I got a rusty old bracelet that lays on my arm

It don't look like much but don't be alarmed

Well I should polish it so it could look new

But I don't do it if you knew what I knew

It means so much to me

How could I ever relay

It means so much to me

And now I'll tell ya

My brother got it from a secondhand store

He passed away I picked it up off his floor

And now I wear it most every single day

Reminds me of the man he was before that day

He means so much to me

How could I ever relay

He means so much to me

And now I'll tell ya

He was my brother and he was my friend

We had our ups and downs

It all just depends on the day

He got sober he was living it clean

And then he fell into that same old

Drug routine

It meant so much to him

But how could he ever relay

It meant so much to him

And then he told me

He said he got it from a friend next door

He picked it up and he always wanted more

Had to have it most every single day

I still remember who he was before that day

He means so much to me

How could I ever relay

He means so much to me

And now I'll tell ya

And now I wear this chain every single day

Reminds me of the man he was when he

Faded away

The chain of loneliness the chain of sin

The chain of heroin the devil always wins

It means so much to me

How could I ever relay

It means so much to me

And now I'll tell ya

My brother got it from a secondhand store

He passed away I picked it up off his floor

And now I wear it most every single day

Reminds me of the man he was before that day

He means so much to me

How could I ever relay

He means so much to me

And now I've told ya
