Hey brother Get yourself together Don't you wait Can't you see I'm waiting in the shadows To take your place There is a chance But I'll keep trying To tell you the truth Then end up lying to you Chorus: You said you were late And I planned my escape Such a happy thing Just another one of my mistakes So you held your breath And you cursed the west Said you had no choice You're moving back east where men are men Your mother Never found a reason To hesitate Now you're waiting For a warmer welcome In colder states chorus Love's got the border Why don't you feel free To cross my state line And bring yourself to me It's a hell of a struggle Been grounded for years Words that I use up to, oh For your ears chorus
