Keep your eyes on them rolling wheels
Fifteen solid forward gears
They glide like butterflies down the highway

They'll move you down the line
They'll bring you home in time
They'll sing you songs of love returning

Oh our brother's gone away

He can't play like he used to
But his words still ring true
They curl like dust clouds on the roadside
He's been broken by a heart
But still does not live apart
From all the sorrow he has shown me

Oh our brother's gone away
And don't you wish that he could stay
To walk you to the county line
To see you shining in your time
And don't you wish there was a way

Like a kid who's been out throwing stones
Into a river close to home
I've taught myself to trust the melody
So I sing when I've got time
First to lose and then to find
If I don't make it don't you worry

Oh our brother's gone away
And don't you wish that he could stay
To see you finally settled down
To see your children gathered round
And don't you wish there was a way
