You should have called me a brother
You should have been real close
But you knew I loved you brother
Enough to take over your post
I guess it's always with me
I guess it will always be there
As I step on the runway I always will see
The boy with the thousand yard stare thousand yard stare
But you were asleep my brother
I didn't mean you no harm
You were asleep when they came through the wire
And I couldn't reach the alarm
I guess it's always with me
I guess it will always be there
As I step on the runway I always will see
The boy with the thousand yard stare thousand yard stare
You'll never leave me brother
Though I watched them fly you back home
I'm still in country brother
I won't make the world on my own
I guess it's always with me
I guess it will always be there
As I step on the runway I always will see
The boy with the thousand yard stare
I guess it's always with me
I guess it will always be there
As I step on the runway I always will see
The boy with the thousand yard stare thousand yard stare
The boy with the thousand yard stare
The boy with the thousand yard stare
