[Verse 1]
Sonny boy, you need new sneakers
I'd better go into town and get them Friday night
Come to think of it, kid
You need just about everything
But I think everything will be all right
[Verse 2]
So you went and got yourself back into trouble
Went and got yourself into another fight
Come on here, let me see your eye
Now it's all black and swollen
But I think everything will be all right
Yes, I think that you're gonna be all right
[Verse 3]
I don't know why you're such a troublemaker
You'd think that maybe by now you'd see the light
Getting yourself torn up, boy
And we don't have much money
But I think everything will be all right
Yes, I think everything will be all right
[Bridge]
Now maybe I shouldn't yell 'cause I know you're just a kid
But I can't always tell what's on your mind half the time
Brother mine
[Verse 4]
Now I know that you're just my little brother
And I don't expect you to get everything just right
But I think you ought to use
A little more sense than what you're using
And maybe then things would be all right
Yes, maybe then things would be all right
[Verse 5]
Now I know that I sit and I worry too much
Especially when you come home such a sight
But I guess what you've got to do, boy
You go ahead and do it
And I sure hope things will be all right
Yes, I hope everything will be all right
[Verse 6]
Now come back here, you scruffy little brother
Come on back here, let me kiss you goodnight
'Cause I know if you were gone
That I'd miss the sound of laughter
That's gonna make everything all right
Yes, that's gonna make everything all right
