Brother Through The Phone

Hey old friend It's nice to hear from you It's been a while Since we shot the breeze like we used to And work It's been slow We're booked for months, but time just seems to ramble when it's cold Do you know That old girl That I said I was taking flowers And to that side of the river where I go Now I'm alone I'm sure glad you called tonight Cause I could use some brother through the phone I'm doing alright, but I could be better I know you've got a wife and job, so you can go whenever But remember that night We had perfect weather We sat and counted constellations, slept on rocks, and saw the sunset and rise Oh what I'd do, to be with you Oh I could use some brother through the phone My old dog He's getting gray Along with all the folks that we both love That are aging by the day And our old man He's got the walk That papa had when we were young He's sure been through it all He still don't know Where you are He said you called him bout' a week ago You know our voice is fuel for his old heart Mine ain't far From running low, I miss you so Oh I could use some brother through the phone I'm doing alright, but I could be better I know you've got a wife and job, so you can go whenever But remember that night We had perfect weather We sat and counted constellations, slept on rocks, and saw the sunset and rise I'm running low, I miss you so Oh I could use some brother through the phone
