Lyrics

Oh Brother

You went out to California (All the gold’s out there you know)
Cousin Danny went with you (He was never very smart)
Smoking guns and trouble followed (Just like they always do)
Blowing daylight through your head (Through your head)
And your heart (And your heart)

You were headed for disaster
Couldn’t peddle any faster
And you look just like your mother
Well, I tried to tell you brother
Oh, brother

You came home from California (Well they all come back one day)
You were cargo in a plane (It’s a cold and lonely ride)
And your daughter only knows you (Why does Daddy always hide?)
As a picture in a frame (Red hair, blue eyes)
Oh, no
It’s such a shame

You were headed for disaster
Couldn’t peddle any faster
And you look just like your mother
Well, I tried to tell you brother
Oh, brother

You were too young
Had too much fun
