Brother Lyrics - Greetings From California - The Madden Brothers

One night when I was driving 

From the place I used to go 

Saw a pair of head lights 

And a car I didn't know 

I pulled over, asked the driver 

Hey man, where you going? 

He said, I don't know 

But I need to get there 

You see, this truck is all but broken 

And my life is just the same 

How do I even bother? 

When my kid's don't know my name 

I'm not trying to make excuses 

Don't wanna pass on all the blame 

But I don't know 

How did I get here?? 

He said 

Say a prayer 

For me now 

Won't you brother? 

I'm so lost 

Say it loud 

Like my mother 

I can't speak 

I'm too proud 

Like my father 

Say a prayer 

For me now 

Won't you brother? 

So we drove a little further 

To a place I'd been before 

Like cold water it hit me 

When he opened up the door 

To a small house in the country 

There were pictures on the wall 

Of places I remember 

And people I recall 

He said, son you're nothing like me 

But I'm so glad that you're here 

Then he cried and said, I'm sorry 

And I've missed you all these years 

And I don't know 

How did we get here? 

Before you go 

Can we just sit here? 

He said 

Say a prayer 

For me now 

Won't you brother? 

I'm so lost 

Say it loud 

Like my mother 

I can't speak 

I'm too proud 

Like my father 

Say a prayer 

For me now 

Won't you brother? 

*Instrumental* 

He said 

Say a prayer 

For me now 

Won't you brother? 

I'm so lost 

Say it loud 

Like my mother 

I can't speak 

I'm too proud 

Like my father 

Say a prayer 

For me now 

Won't you brother? 

He said 

Say a prayer 

For me now 

Won't you brother? 

I'm so lost 

Say it loud 

Like my mother 

I can't speak 

I'm too proud 

Like my father 

Say a prayer 

For me now 

Won't you brother?
