Oh Brother Lyrics by James Taylor

Oh Brother Lyrics

    I'm not much for making little wishes
    But i'd like a little wish to come true for you
    I'm not talking about loaves and fishes
    But i wish that there was something i could do for you
    Here's a little bit of cheap advice
    To be taken in an hour of need
    Don't assume that the life you left
    Is the life you have to lead

    (chorus)
    When you come home what you gonna do
    Oh brother, oh brother
    Don't you try to deny
    What you know to be true
    The same mess of misery that you done been through
    Standing in line
    And it's waiting for you
    One kiss leads to another
    Brother when you come back home

    I'd like to know who's knocking on door
    I'd like to know what they come here for
    You'd like to say no
    But the words won't come
    Come in and sit down, seem to roll off your tongue
    You forget to remember, to never die young
    One kiss leads to another
    Brother when you come back home
    Standing in line, all of your friends
    Standing in line, party never ends
    Standing in line, the river flows, the river bends
    Standing in line, all of your friends

    - chorus -

    And that moon will be
    Shining in the trees
    All night long
    Something bound to happen for sure
    Soon you'll be
    Stopping by talking to a friend again
    Swear you ain't never tasted nothing so pure

    - chorus -

    When you come home, your friends are dropping by
    When you come home, the moon is gonna shine
    When you come home, i tell you no lie
    When you come home, they're gonna offer you a line
    Standing in line, all of your friends
    Standing in line, party never ends now
    Standing in line, the river flows, the river bends
    Standing in line, all your so called friends
    Standing in line, when you come home
    Standing in line, oh brother, oh brother now
    Standing in line, when you come home
    Standing in line, what you're gonna do now
    Standing in line...
