They slapped a decal of your face on an eighteen-wheeler, smiling like you would
If we were over to your place on Thanksgiving in the neighborhood
You were from the True North, strong and free, but we never raised a fuss
You were always one of us
You were always one of us
Boy, there ain't a thing to discuss
Miss you like the rain missed the bus
Roll sign reading
Some place bluebirds sing
And that about just sums it up
Life ain't but a dream, it's a bitter cup
Nothing stays the same
It'll make you cry, it'll make you cuss
You were always one of us
You made an honest woman of my big sister, you built your house on stone
If we needed a hand or a crying shoulder, you picked up the phone
You were sweat of the brow from Sunday morning to the dust
You were always one of us
You were always one of us
Boy, there ain't a thing to discuss
Miss you like the rain missed the bus
Roll sign reading
Some place bluebirds sing
And that about just sums it up
Life ain't but a dream, it's a bitter cup
Nothing stays the same
It'll make you cry, it'll make you cuss
You were always one of us
There's a gift from the beginning
That keeps a man alive
That's you in your children's voices
That's you in their eyes
May the silver line of your memory run long before it rusts
You were always one of us
You were always one of us
Boy, there ain't a thing to discuss
Miss you like the rain missed the bus
Roll sign reading
Some place bluebirds sing
And that about just sums it up
Life ain't but a dream, it's a bitter cup
Nothing stays the same
It'll make you cry, it'll make you cuss
You were always one of us
One of us
Boy, there ain't a thing to discuss
Miss you like the rain missed the bus
Roll sign reading
Some place bluebirds sing
And that about just sums it up
Life ain't but a dream, it's a bitter cup
Nothing stays the same
It'll make you cry, it'll make you cuss
You were always one of us
It'll make you cry, it'll make you cuss
You were always one of us
