Cassie’s Brother Lyrics

Can my brother sit in? (X2)

Well there's a hole in the band and as a favor to Cassie
We'll let her brother come and jam
If he ain't no good, we'll just leave him right out of the mix
But he proceeded to give some tired mules a coupla kicks

Two weeks later and brother's in the band
Two more weeks a live album in the can
Expect we'll all be in his shadow one day
That boys a writin' and playin' fool
We're the guitar army again
There ain't nothin' that we can't do

[Chorus]
Cassie's brother was an Okie boy
Played guitar just like a god
Write you a song and sing it too
Music so fine it makes you feel brand new

Two years later
"Street Survivors" hit the shelves
Beyond expectation, sounding better than ourselves
Just wanna keep playing
As long as we possibly can

[Chorus]
