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 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 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 Instrumental : (x4) If love's got no 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 The words that I use are too old for your ears Instrumental :   (x3)                                    (x2) 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 Instrumental : (x4) Finale :
