Brother Through The Phone Lyrics

Hey old friend

It's nice to hear from you

It's been a while

Since we shot the breeze like we used to

And work

It's been slow

We're booked for months, but time just seems to ramble when it's cold

Do you know

That old girl

That I said I was taking flowers

And to that side of the river where I go

Now I'm alone

I'm sure glad you called tonight

Cause I could use some brother through the phone

I'm doing alright, but I could be better

I know you've got a wife and job, so you can go whenever

But remember that night

We had perfect weather

We sat and counted constellations, slept on rocks, and saw the sunset and rise

Oh what I'd do, to be with you

Oh I could use some brother through the phone

My old dog

He's getting gray

Along with all the folks that we both love

That are aging by the day

And our old man

He's got the walk

That papa had when we were young

He's sure been through it all

He still don't know

Where you are

He said you called him bout' a week ago

You know our voice is fuel for his old heart

Mine ain't far

From running low, I miss you so

Oh I could use some brother through the phone

I'm doing alright, but I could be better

I know you've got a wife and job, so you can go whenever

But remember that night

We had perfect weather

We sat and counted constellations, slept on rocks, and saw the sunset and rise

I'm running low, I miss you so

Oh I could use some brother through the phone
