Same Here

  • How are things in California
    I hear the traffic's just insane
    Plastic people and paparazzi
    Yeah, I know all the left coast cliches
    But tell me, is there a bar on your corner
    Where you buy each other beers
    And solve all the world's problems?
    Same here

    We went out to watch the sunset
    On our last night in Cozumel
    Stumbled on some local wedding
    On the beach by our hotel
    Though I didn't know the language
    I recognize the tears
    People cry when they're happy
    Same here

    However you talk, whatever you think
    From the songs that you sing to the drink that you drink
    If you miss your mama and worry 'bout your babies
    And love each other like crazy
    And want someone to share your hopes and fears
    Same here

    I've got a friend across the ocean
    Seems like a million miles away
    He says our worlds are very different
    And yeah, that's true, but I gotta say
    He's got his own kind of football team that
    Let's him down every year
    A wife he loves and a bunch of dreams
    For his country he holds so dear
    He prays for peace and freedom
    Same here

    (Hi, Brad)
    (Hello, Mr. President)
    (Happy to see you)
    (What's "Same here" in Ukrainian?)
    ("Так само", We speak different languages in our life)
    (Yes, but I think we appreciate the same things)
    (Children, freedom, our flag, our soldiers, our people)
    (The biggest treasure we have, and friends)
    (And we're proud of our army who defends our freedom and will defend our lives)

    However you talk, whatever you think
    From the songs that you sing to the drink that you drink
    (We're fighting for our children, our parents to defend our houses and families)
    And love each other like crazy
    And want someone to share your hopes and fears
    (Так само, there is no distance between our countries in such values)
    (That is very important to see that they are really in many, in many things really the same) Writer/s: Brad Paisley, Lee Thomas Miller, Taylor Zachary Goldsmith
