DGrandpa Charles smoked and drank whiskey
But Ghe died in 43
DNobody like him in all my kin
UAntill my brother and me
DHe died in a small town so far back
They didn't Gknow what hit him maybe a heart attack
DThat was a drag on my grandma you know
She never Areally forgave him  for Dthat
GMost every year on DChristmas Day
My Adad and me go Ddown where he lay
GI don't know what kind of Dman he'd be
But he'd Alike my brother and DmeG  D  G  
DGrandmama married a man she found
Even Gfore Grandaddy hit the ground
DTook 45 years but what do you know
He Aturned that right around
DGrandma would tell him about the family
How they Gcome over from Germany
DOma and Opa was hard folks though
You know Ahow them  Germans can Dbe
GWhen she died we Dcried  and sang that day
With the Aguitars tuned to the dDoghouse bass
GNobody sings down  Dlow and sweet
Not Alike my brother and DmeG  D  G  
DMy great grandpappy on my mother's side
Made a Gwhole lot of money before he died
DHe was a wildcatter and in the Klan besides
And tAhat was a matter of pride
DNever wondered where great grandpappy went
He lit a Gcigar neath a oxygen tent
DA man of secrets I'll never know
Like a Aletter never Dsent
GThey're all livin lDike they should
But all the Amoney in the world didn't Ddo em no good
GTheir daughter went and married an Dold hayseed
And they Ahad my brother and DmeG  D  G  
DWhat do they say about the small town
You can take the Gboy out of Bandera
Not the other way around
DI don't know but man it's true
Those Abright lights will get you down
DI'm gonna stay on the old concrete
Cause them Gcity girls they smell so sweet
DI don't know what the hell they see
But they Alike my brother and Dme
But they Alike my brother and Dme
They like my Abrother a little more than they Ddo me
But they like my Abrother and Dme
GWe go down to the DSpur some night
And Alisten to the river Dneath the pale moon light
GAnd tell our buddies what's it's Dlike to be
Just Alike my brother and Dme
Just Alike my brother and Dme
Don't mAess my with mt brother and Dme
Just Alike my brother and Dme

Bruce Robison My Brother And Me written by Bruce Robison

D G D G D G D G

Grandpa Charles smoked and drank whiskey

But he died in 43

Nobody like him in all my kin

Untill my brother and me

He died in a small town so far back

They didn't know what hit him maybe a heart attack

That was a drag on my grandma you know

A D

She never really forgave him for that

G D

Most every year on Christmas Day

A D

My dad and me go down where he lay

G D

I don't know what kind of man he'd be

A D G D G

But he'd like my brother and me

Grandmama married a man she found

Even fore Grandaddy hit the ground

Took 45 years but what do you know

He turned that right around

Grandma would tell him about the family

How they come over from Germany

Oma and Opa was hard folks though

A D

You know how them Germans can be

G D

When she died we cried and sang that day

A D

With the guitars tuned to the doghouse bass

G D

Nobody sings down low and sweet

A D G D G

Not like my brother and me

My great grandpappy on my mother's side

Made a whole lot of money before he died

He was a wildcatter and in the Klan besides

And that was a matter of pride

Never wondered where great grandpappy went

He lit a cigar neath a oxygen tent

A man of secrets I'll never know

A D

Like a letter never sent

G D

They're all livin like they should

A D

But all the money in the world didn't do em no good

G D

Their daughter went and married an old hayseed

A D G D G

And they had my brother and me

What do they say about the small town

You can take the boy out of Bandera

Not the other way around

I don't know but man it's true

Those bright lights will get you down

I'm gonna stay on the old concrete

Cause them city girls they smell so sweet

I don't know what the hell they see

A D

But they like my brother and me

But they like my brother and me

They like my brother a little more than they do me

But they like my brother and me

We go down to the Spur some night

And listen to the river neath the pale moon light

And tell our buddies what's it's like to be
