I’ve got it made,

in the shade of you.

Style for the extra smile,

that we walk together,

in life’s greatest and worst parts.

Just a little bit longer,

because we make each other stronger.

Smiling and laughing,

as record times are broken.

Momma raised us to know

that we gotta’ depend on one another.

Don’t apologize for crashing on my couch,

don’t worry about how we’re gonna’ make it.

We gotta help build up and not hurt,

bind the wounds and let go of hurts,

and when you’re done borrowing my shirt,

bring it back please,

that’s what gives us spunk - the brother tease! 😜
