lyrics

I learned it all from Jacob, to track and hunt the black bear,
To make him mine
And he taught me the coyote song,
Jacob lost his patience with the white man,
He said “you’ll fall in love with a blue eyed lady someday”
And words won’t do no good to save your life”
And everything my brother said was right,
Everything my brother said was right.

Tommy said "get even, put up your fists and fight for what is true
Take a punch but kill him if you must,"
Tommy said that men are easily broken,
“Don’t simply go out looking for a war,
‘Cause blood won’t do no good to save your life,”
And everything my brother said was right,
Everything my brother said was right.

But I recall we made a deal,
We wrote our names in blood
I said, I’d always be there, and you said the same,
But I know things change,
The years and the miles keep dragging on, and keep on pulling me from you,
I guess I’ll see you , when I see you,
I guess I’ll see you when I see you.

Dallin my kid brother, he’s seen more than anyone has seen,
His heart of gold beats slow and won’t be tamed
Dallin said, “a man will have to choose,
The type of riches after which he’ll seek,
‘cause gold won’t do no good to save your life.”
And everything my brother said was right,
Everything my brother said was right,
Everything my brother said was right.
