Rushwood - A Western Tale of Brotherhood (feat. Corne Ouburg) Lyrics

He never saw his brother as his friend
A youngster on which you never could depend
Remembering the early days
When time was spent for fun
Two rebel kids, like cat's and dogs
You right, he always wrong

A father who worked hard to pull them through
He always laughed when he heard about them two
And on the day that mother died
He came to him that night
He warned him about the future he said
You gotta make it right

He said
You just read my lips
Don't you know that life ain't fair
You just read my lips
I ought to know 'cause I've been there

Whell father really left them in that state
Before he realized it was all to late
His brother couldn't handle it
Went crazy, drugs and booze
He lost control, he lost the kid
The kid was on the lose
But one day he came back to him in need
His suffering had surely made him bleed
He told him of his crimes and that
He had to hide away
But he sais, Christ! this is where a brother is for
He convinced his brother to stay

He said
You just read my lips
Don't you know that life ain't fair
You just read my lips
I ought to know 'cause I've been there

The only thing the officer had said
It is them crazy bro's there both as mad
They found them guilty of all his crimes
There gonna hang in town
He got the chance to tell the truth
But he couldn't let him down
