big brother's shadow

[Verse] Big brother loved the game of ball Speeding down the lanes never did he stall Heart so vast he’d give the shirt first worn But his drinking left our family torn [Chorus] Big brother where’d you go Chasing dreams don’t you know Left alone to face the night In your shadow lost my sight [Verse 2] Fast cars and the late-night breeze Laughed like thunder shaking trees Kind to strangers and all we know Didn’t see his battle though [Chorus] Big brother where’d you go Chasing dreams don’t you know Left alone to face the night In your shadow lost my sight [Bridge] Whiskey whispered lies too sweet Claimed the boy we couldn’t keep Love remains through every scar Big brother you were our star [Verse 3] Trophy walls and photos bright Try to mend a soul that’s tight Memories in the cluttered space But I see you in every place
