You're just sitting over there in that old armchair with a loaded gun
Cos the body is gone and I guess that poor mans time had come
Well our time it has been and the lives we have lived are the same
But I fought my own wars and I boarded up the doors to the pain
Cos you're my brother Louie
But I won't see you again
Have you done this before
Cos your jeans are full of mud but there ain't a speck of blood on the floor
Cos although we've grown apart I still know that you've got a good heart
Well our time it has been and the lives we have lived are the same
But I fought my own wars and I boarded up the doors to the pain
Cos you're my brother Louie
But I won't see you again
I was driving down the highway and he was in the back of a prison van
He had a twelve in by twelve inch window to the outside world
And when his eyes caught mine well they saw right through to my soul
What'd you see in my soul
And our time it has been and the lives we have lived are the same
But I fought my own wars and I boarded up the doors to the pain
Cos you're my brother Louie
And I won't see you again
