LYRICS

I've been working 12 hours a day
Living in hell
Broke back and a sore leg
I know it all too well
Man I know you're tired
And you want to give in
Your mind's all over the place
And don't quite fit in

Listen to me brother
Oh brother please listen well
Don't be afraid to call me I'll help you if I can
You don't have to be alone
I'd drive 500 miles in the freezing winter and pack up everything you own
Listen to me brother I just don't want to hear youre gone

Think of the old farmhouse the picking and strumming
All the music and jams
indigo on state street busking for dollars that gal always makes me laugh
Think about whatever gets you through another day, sometimes that's all we have

Listen to me brother
Oh brother please listen well
Don't be afraid to call me I'll help you if I can
You don't have to be alone
Id drive 500 miles in the freezing winter and pack up everything you own

Listen to me brother I just don't want to hear you're gone
Listen to me brother I just want you to come home

When I was strung out on heroin 10 years ago my best friend who lived in Texas paid for me a grey hound ticket to where he lived and let me stay in a bedroom of my own, bought me clothes, got me a job, and helped me get sober. All out of the kindness of his heart. He's the best person I've ever known. This song reminds me of him. I wouldn't be clean or maybe even alive if not for him

I just lost my brother/best friend on June 9th. My family’s soul has been ripped out. I wish I could have sent this to him on June 8th. I miss you brother

At age 12 I was diagnosed with cancer, at age 19 I had a major brain surgery, at age 27 I lost my lungs and had to have them transplanted, at age 29 The lungs got rejected and had to go through a second double lung transplant. During this I picked up the bottle. Went to rehab, drank the first day out. Been going through the cycles of losing myself in poison. I am 31 now and am just beginning my sobriety journey. God bless you, brother. Never stop.

Came back from the Army Rangers after 10 long years and 4 combat missions, a few years later I lost my father on Father’s Day weekend and that same year I lost my brother on Christmas Eve. I just hit 20 months the other day no alcohol and no blow.

[billyhawley]

4 years sober. today i dropped my daughter off at her 1st day of school. Im crying writing this message knowing how lucky i am to have reclaimed my life from addiction. Ive lost so many of my brothers to addiction who never got the chance to have children or live a full life. God rest their beautiful souls. Im currently sitting by patiently waiting from the bleechers watching my oldest brother and life long hero struggle with additon which most days i feel is worse then being an addict is watching someone u love continue to go through the vicious cycle of addiction i will continue to be here for him and pray he is victorious in this battle for his life. Stay strong yall and remeber as long as ur still pulling air god is giving u another chance

[thesky]

I sent my brother this who doesn't talk to me much...I know he works so hard just like me and doesn't know where to turn sometimes. I'm so glad and hope to God he knows I'm always here. No matter what we always had each other.

[Lbzjohn]

When I heard “I just don’t wanna hear your gone” I felt that deep in my soul. Damn.

[Marlevlyn]

I lost my best friend close to 12 yrs ago. I still hear is laughter in my head

[traceybushman]

I just said my last goodbye to my big brother earlier today. Advanced cancer. My heart is broken.
Thank you for such a great song. Timmy would have so loved it. God Bless you. 😢

Greyson, I am deeply affected. I walked out of the house with my headphones on and climbed on my ATV to go down and run my dogs and this song gripped me by the heart. I had to pull over to write you this. Keep up the amazing work, Greyson. You've got another fan here in the Hill Country of Texas.

I was running a muck for most of my life. And I had family that never gave up on me. They moved me 1900 miles from where I lived to start over. Not only me. But my girlfriend at that time. This was 3 years and two weeks ago. Since then. That girlfriend and I are now married. Been absolutely sober. Now own a new Chevy truck and just purchased our first home together. There is a better side of life if we truly want it. But sometimes we need people to help pick us up. To show us the other side of life. Good bless anyone who reads this. Help those in need of help!!!

[dustinkeith]

Losing my brother was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to face in my life, he wasn’t just my brother, he was my best friend, he was the only person that I had when nobody else was around, and I’m forever going to miss him, R.I.P brother

[JDEE]

God loves you son. I'm proud of you for handling your business. I don't know you, but I hope everything stays down the right path for you

[ChangeIsEverywhere]
