[Verse 1: Brad Paisley]
How are things in California?
I hear the traffic's just insane
Plastic people and paparazzi
Yeah, I know all the left coast clichés
[Chorus 1: Brad Paisley]
But tell me, is there a bar on your corner
Where you buy each other beers
And solve all the world's problems?
Same here
[Verse 2: Brad Paisley]
We went out to watch the sunset
On our last night in Cozumel
Stumbled on some local wedding
On the beach by our hotel
No, I didn't know the language
I recognized the tears
People cry when they're happy
Same here
[Chorus 2: Brad Paisley]
However you talk, whatever you think
From the songs that you sing to the drink that you drink
If you miss your mama and worry 'bout your babies
And love each other like crazy
And want someone to share your hopes and fears
Same here
[Verse 3: Brad Paisley]
I've got a friend across the ocean
Seems like a million miles away
He says our worlds are very different
Yeah, that's true, but I gotta say
[Chorus 3: Brad Paisley]
He's got his own kind of football team that
Let's him down every year
A wife he loves and a bunch of dreams
For his country he holds so dear
He prays for peace and freedom
Same here
[Brad Paisley, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy]
Hi, Brad
Hello, Mr. President
Happy to see you
What's "Same here" in Ukrainian?
Так само. We speak different languages in our life. Yes, but I think we appreciate the same things - children, freedom, our flag, our soldiers, our people. The biggest treasure we have. And friends. And we're proud of our army who defends our freedom and will defend our lives.
[Outro: Brad Paisley, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy]
However you talk, whatever you think
From the songs that you sing to the drink that you drink
We're fighting for our children, our parents to defend our houses and families
And love each other like crazy
And want someone to share your hopes and fears
Так само. There is no distance between our countries in such values. That is very important to see that they are, ah, really in many, in many things really the same.
Same Here was written by Brad Paisley & Lee Thomas Miller & Володимир Зеленський (Volodymyr Zelensky).
