Promise Me

I got the call this morning

Mama said it’s time to come home

Your Daddy’s health is fading

He won’t be with us long

Sitting here at his bedside 

Doing my best to comfort him 

Then he opened up those blue eyes 

He said it’s good to see you home again

Promise me you’ll make peace with your brother 

He’s the only one you’ll ever have 

Please take care of your mother

She’s gonna be awful sad

Yayeeeyeah 

Heyeeyeah 

Oooooh

We spent the next few hours remembering

making sure we said everything

Then he pulled me closer

And this is what he said

Promise me you’ll make peace with your brother 

He’s the only one you’ll ever have 

Please take care of your mother

She’s gonna be awful sad

Promise me you’ll make peace with your brother 

He’s the only one you’ll ever have 

Please take care of your mother

She’s gonna be awful sad

Yayeeyeah

Heyeeyeah 

Ooooooo 

I made the call this morning

Brother, it’s time to come home
