Lyrics

Bay Bro

You were the youngest fair headed boy
Mama’s favorite son
You looked to me ‘cause daddy was gone
Killed by a jealous man’s gun
We learned to fight then we learned to play
Bottleneck slide in hand
You were my voice and I was your drive
We were the blood of the band

Chorus
Sing from your soul my bay bro, Sing all your joy and pain
Night after night I'm there at your show, up on the stage where you sing
They call you a gypsy, vagabond rogue, but a name you'll never outgrow
My bay bro

V2
Salt on our skin and sand in our toes
Rhythm and blues in our soul
We were just kids, hungry and green
Finding our sound on the road
Left Alabama, New York and LA
But Macon has always been home
Guess that I left without a goodbye
And you had to fly on your own

Chorus
Sing from your soul my bay bro, Sing all your joy and pain
Night after night I'm there at your show, up on the stage where you sing
They call you a gypsy, vagabond rogue, but a name you'll never outgrow
My bay bro

V3
You’re older now and life ain’t been kind
Wiser and shorter of breath
Whiskey and pills for the pain that you feel
Running to meet your own death
Life on the road won’t go on forever
Brothers and sisters will die
Midnight rider, lay down your cross
Meet this old dog in the sky

Chorus
Sing from your soul my bay bro, Sing all your joy and pain
Night after night I'm there at your show, up on the stage where you sing
They call you a gypsy, vagabond rogue, but a name you'll never outgrow

Sing from your soul my bay bro, Sing all your joy and pain
Night after night I'm there at your show, up on the stage where you sing
They call you a gypsy, vagabond rogue, blues they come and they go
blood is thick in life and death a name you’ll never outgrow
My bay bro
My bay bro
