Lyrics
Verse 1:
he never had much, he lived it hard,
luck refused to shine on him,
just a wayward soul no place to go,
but trouble always found him,
he drank too much, never turned from a fight
he grew up tough, that's just how it was
for a boy from the wrong side of the tracks
you never back down and you don't look back
bridge:
brother where are you? are you living it up?
brother where are you? are you doing the things you wanted to do?
brother where are you? are you out there somewhere riding the skies?
brother where are you? take those wings and baby you just fly
chorus:
cos you take the lessons you learn from this life
and you make sure you don't make the same mistakes twice
don't feel bad for what you didn't do
but in the next life you just follow them through
you know where you are and you know where you've been
the people you loved and the things that you've seen
take them with you on the otherside
and know that somehow things will work out fine
Verse 2:
he was a simple man with simple needs
had no use for fancy things
he tried real hard to keep a job
but freedom was too tempting
he lived by himself, never cared for a wife
but he never lived alone a day in his life
his friends were there when he needed them most
and they were with him at the end of his life
bridge:
brother where are you? are you living it up?
brother where are you? are you doing the things you wanted to do?
brother where are you? are you out there somewhere riding the skies?
brother where are you? take those wings and baby you just fly
chorus:
cos you take the lessons you learn from this life
and you make sure you don't make the same mistakes twice
don't feel bad for what you didn't do
but in the next life you just follow them through
you know where you are and you know where you've been
the people you loved and the things that you've seen
take them with you on the otherside
and know that somehow things will work out fine
