about

Live recording of my brother Andy and I playing at Davey's Uptown in Kansas City sometime in early 2014. We messed up a few times on this track... sorry!

lyrics

Everybody knows that we don't play no games
Though our fists are kinda tough, our hearts are kinda tame
And we live, and we learn, and we play, and we work
Until the day we die, until I'm in that dirt
I will love, and I'll laugh, and I won't give it back
All those good times that we'll have, and don't forget the past
We were just these little kids with our hearts there on our sleeve
And our father wasn't home so we walked all of these streets
Oh yes we did...

And I've got your back every time you come around
And you've got my back every time I hit the ground
And I've got your back every time you need a friend
And you've got my back until the very end

Now everybody says that we're no good for each other
But don't nobody know me like you do my brother
We can sit and tell these stories of our sister and our mother
We can act like we don't like them but we don't got us another
And we can't forget our lovers and that man we call our father
Though he wasn't always there he taught us like no other
Now I have all of my family and I can't forget my friends
Because without either one of you my life would be quite over
Yes it would...

And I've got your back every time you come around
And you've got my back every time I hit the ground
And I've got your back every time you need a friend
And you've got my back until the very end

Now that everything is dead it's time to start our lives all over
Now that summer's coming to an end and autumn's on our shoulders
You were everything I needed in the past and in the present
You will always be my friend I will not take that shit for granted
No I won't...

And I've got your back every time you come around
And you've got my back every time I hit the ground
And I've got your back every time you need a friend
And you've got my back until the very end
