A Song For My Brother

B.J. Thomas · Other Songs - B.J. Thomas

Wooden planes

Propellers spinnin' in the west Texas wind

We ran behind

You know we laughed

We thought our little flight would never end

You were my brother

And I

I knew you were my friend



I wish that we

Were chasing after wooden airplanes

Once again



The roads been long

You know

I've done some good

And yes I guess I've done some bad



I've sung my songs

And you know

Sometimes I swear

I think I've gone completely mad

If the story of my life

Ever makes you sad



Remember when

We were a-chasing after

Wooden airplanes

Yes I believe

That was the finest time

I've ever had



Yes I believe

That was the finest time

I've ever had
