We were tight-nit boys brother's in more than name You would kill for me and knew that I'd do the same And it cut me sharp hearing you'd gone away But everything goes away Yeah, everything goes away But I am gonna be here 'til I'm nothin' But bones in the ground And I was there when you grew restless You left in the dead of night And I was there when three months later You were standing in the door all beaten and tired And I stepped aside
Everything goes away Yeah, everything goes away But I am gonna be here 'til I'm nothin' But bones in the ground So quiet down We were opposites at birth I was steady as a hammer And no one worried Because they knew just where I'd be And they said you were the crooked kind That you would never have no worth But you were always gold to me
And back when we were kids We swore we knew the future And how our wits would take us Half-way around the world
But I never left this town And you never saw New York And we ain't ever crossed the sea But I am fine with where I am now This home is home, and all that I need But for you this place is shame But you can blame me When there's no one left to blame Oh, I don't mind
And all my life I've never known where you've been There were holes in you The kind that I could not mend And I heard you say Right when you left that day Does everything go away Yeah, everything goes away But I am gonna be here 'til forever So just call when you're around
