I′m not much for making little wishes
But I'd like a little wish to come true for you
I′m not talking about loaves and fishes
But I wish that there was something I could do for you
Here's a little bit of cheap advice
To be taken in an hour of need
Don't assume that the life you′ve left
Is the life you have to lead
When you come home, what you gonna do?
Oh brother, oh brother
Don′t you try to deny what you know to be true
Same mess of misery that you done been through
Standing in line and it's waiting for you
One kiss leads to another
Brother, when you come back home
I′d like to know who's knocking on door
I′d like to know what they come here for
Like to say no but the words won't come
Come in and sit down, seem to roll off your tongue
Forget to remember to never die young
One kiss leads to another
Brother, when you come back home
Standing in a line
All of your friends
Standing in a line
The party never ends
Standing in a line
River flows, river bends
Standing in a line
All of your friends
When you come home, what you gonna do?
Oh brother, oh brother
Don′t you try to deny what you know to be true
Same mess of misery that you done been through
Standing in line and it's waiting for you
One kiss leads to another
Brother, when you come back home
And that moon will be
The moon will be shining
(Shining through the trees all night
Long
Something bound to happen for sure)
Soon you'll be
Soon you′ll be stopping by
(Stopping by to talk to a friend again)
Swear you ain′t never
(Never tasted nothing so pure)
Oh, when you come home, what you gonna do?
Oh brother, oh brother
Don't you try to deny what you know to be true
Same mess of misery that you done been through
Standing in line and it′s waiting for you
One kiss leads to another
Brother, when you come back home
When you come home
Your friends are dropping by
When you come home
The moon is gonna shine
When you come home
I tell you no lie
When you come home
They're gonna offer you a line
Standing in a line
All of your friends
Standing in a line
The party never ends now
Standing in a line
River flows, river bends
Standing in a line
All your so-called friends
Standing in a line
When you come home
Standing in a line
Oh brother, oh brother now
Standing in a line
When you come home
Standing in a line
What you gonna do now?
Standing in a line
La la la la la
La la la la la
Standing in a line
La la la la la
La la la la la
Standing in a line
La la la la la
La la la la la
Standing in a line
