Highway Butterfly Lyrics

Keep your eyes on them rolling wheels Fifteen solid forward gears They glide like butterflies down the highway They will move you down the line They will bring you home in time They will sing you songs of love returning Oh, our brother's gone away He can't play like he used to But his words still ring true They curl like dust clouds on the roadside He's been broken by a heart But still does not live apart From all the sorrow he has shown me Oh, our brother's gone away And don't you wish that he could stay? To walk you to the county line To see you shining in your time And don't you wish there was a way Like a kid who's been out throwing stones Into a river close to home I've taught myself to trust the melody So I sing when I've got time First to lose and then to find If I don't make it, don't you worry Oh, our brother's gone away And don't you wish that he could stay? To see you finally settle down To see your children gathered around And don't you wish there was a way
