Highway Butterfly

[Verse 1]
Keep your eyes on them rolling wheels, fifteen solid forward gears
They glide like butterflies down the highway
They'll move you down the line, they'll bring you home in time
They'll sing you songs of love returning

[Refrain]
Oh, our brother's gone away

[Verse 2]
Now he can't play like he used to, but his words still ring true
They curl like dust clouds on the roadside
He's been broken by heart, still does not live apart
From all the sorrow he has shown me

[Chorus]
Oh, our brother's gone away
Don't you wish that he could stay
To walk you to thе county line, to see you shining in your time?
Don't you wish therе was a way?

[Verse 3]
Like a kid who's been out throwing stones into a river close to home
I taught myself to trust the melody
So I sing when I've got time, first to lose and then to find
If I don't make, it don't you worry

[Chorus]
Oh, our brother's gone away
And don't you wish that he could stay
To walk you to the county line, to see you shining in your time?
Don't you wish there was a way?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Oh, our brother's gone away
Don't you wish that he could stay
To see you finally settled down, to see your children gathered 'round?
Don't you wish there was a way?
