My Brother’s Keeper
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform
his trucks get bigger and bigger
while my paycheck grows
ever smaller and smaller
he has the wife and the kids
while my life is on the skids
the family ties bind
but I feel myself torn
we’re all in this together
being our brother’s keeper
we’re all going to make it through
being our borther’s keeper
what am I to but
let my brother keep me
my family looks down on my lot
wondering if I ever had a shot
but they love me I know they do
doesn’t stop them throwing up their hands
what to do
what to do
what to do
we’re all in this together
being our brother’s keeper
we’re all going to make it through
being our brother’s keeper
what am I to but
let my brother keep me
(bridge)
when I was young
we were close as can be
we were all in it together
going to make it big
holding hands with a roar
where did those days go
we’re all in this together
being our brother’s keeper
we’re all going to make it through
being our brother’s keeper
what am I to but
let my brother keep me
