Lyrics
SEPARATE WAYS
60 years ago you know we spent most days together
Never thought we wouldn’t stay that close forever
So before we’re gone gone gone gone, for good
I think we should
Sit down at the table—raise a glass,
Talk of friends and family brightening our past.
Hard times, better days, all the hell we raised.
Smilin’ together for awhile
‘Til we go our separate ways.
Seeing you again would feel so fine.
Maybe your last visit, maybe mine.
So before we’re gone gone gone gone, for good
I wish we would
Sit down at the table—raise a glass,
Talk of friends and family brightening our past.
Hard times, better days, all the hell we raised.
Smilin’ together for a while
‘Til we go our separate ways.
Oh brother, can you hear me?
Oh brother, help me find a way.
Oh brother, do you understand?
We won’t get forever
But we can take a stand.
Sit down at the table—raise a glass,
Talk of friends and family brightening our past,
Hard times, better days, all the hell we raised.
Smilin’ together for a while.
You and I, side-by-side,
Smilin’ together for a while.
Oh brother can you hear me? Help me find a way.
Oh brother can you hear me? Help me find a way.
Oh brother can you hear me? Help me find a way.
Oh brother can you hear me? Help me find a way.
Oh brother can you hear me? Help me find a way.
