Highway Butterfly Lyrics

Keep your eyes on them rolling wheels
Fifteen solid forward gears
They glide like butterflies down the highway
They will move you down the line
They will bring you home in time
They will sing you songs of love returning
Oh, our brother's gone away
He can't play like he used to
But his words still ring true
They curl like dust clouds on the roadside
He's been broken by a heart
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e81089-neal_casal~highway_butterfly_lyrics.html ]
But still does not live apart
From all the sorrow he has shown me
Oh, our brother's gone away
And don't you wish that he could stay?
To walk you to the county line
To see you shining in your time
And don't you wish there was a way
Like a kid who's been out throwing stones
Into a river close to home
I've taught myself to trust the melody
So I sing when I've got time
First to lose and then to find
If I don't make it, don't you worry
Oh, our brother's gone away
And don't you wish that he could stay?
To see you finally settle down
To see your children gathered around
And don't you wish there was a way
