See You on the Other Side, Brother

I don’t say much about it. Some things don’t need words.

Your boots still by the door Haven’t moved since you left Mama says she’s doin’ fine But she don’t sleep much yet They told us time would fix it Said we’d learn to move on Funny how the world keeps spinnin’ Like you were never gone

We said we’d watch each other’s backs No matter where it ends Guess you just got there first, man

See you on the other side, brother That’s all I got to say I’ll keep carryin’ your name The same way You didn’t leave me answers You didn’t leave me peace You just left me still standin’ here Learnin’ how to breathe

They folded up your jacket Put your picture in a frame Said you were a good man Like that explains the pain I don’t talk about heaven I don’t talk about hell I just know you ain’t hurtin’ And that’s enough to tell

I ain’t mad at the world I ain’t askin’ why I just wake up every day And keep you on my side

See you on the other side, brother When my road runs out I’ll show up how I lived — No excuses, no doubt If there’s somewhere it’s quiet Somewhere we can sit Save me a place when you get there That’s it

I don’t drink to forget you I don’t drink to feel brave I drink to remember The man you stayed So if they ask about you I don’t say much, I quit Some things don’t need a story They just are what they is

See you on the other side, brother I ain’t rushin’ the end But when it’s my turn to go I’ll know where you’ve been Till then I’ll keep movin’ Do what you’d expect I’ll live this life solid Out of simple respect

See you on the other side, brother.
