I woke up sweating in the sun Sprawled across my big brothers grave Shaking with drunk and sleep I crawled to my feet, walked up into the shade Of an young elm tree, Must have been planted since the last we came Vicki, My mom and me Cleaned the dirt from the plaque that said his name Walking to my girlfriends car It came back down on me Yeah I guess i fell to my knees To keep from falling face first into the dream A vision that it had Twisting out of the after afternoon sky I didn't know it then But it was 13 years to the day he died He held his hand in me Like brothers we walk (we walked) To the colorless of the world of a alcohol dream I'd talked for hours Trying to break through the silence that he held to me Then he started away, turned his head, Keep it up so you can die like me Yeah so you can die like me Ever since my brother OD'd I drifted all over from town to town to town Every place i go It's always the same I keep doing junk i keep going down Yeah, my mother got religion My sisters gave up Man, I just gave up too I just died inside Don't want to die like George Don't want to die like George Everybody says there's things to see Everybody's pointing their finger at me I woke up driving after another black out From another bad drug I can't shake this hell that i made for myself And every other life i took I see my sisters son walk the ground I walked He's only 16 If he don't learn from my mistakes He's going to waste away Going to die like me He's going to die like me He's going to die like me
