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

And I've been on the road so long and lonely now

I think it must have been a curse



I been working so hard, so hard to find

Some way to make up for the past

And straighten out these crooked lines



I once longed to travel without stopping or knowing just where I was

Now I wake up late in the afternoon in dirty rooms

I'm confused and spinning with drugs

Because I'll take any pleasure, any pleasure that I can find

Someday this will kill me Lord,

If you would be so kind



I been working 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



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

I got no appetite for the decadence that surrounds me now

I got no use without that brother of mine
