  • Brother's Song
    BY: Heather Davis

    I was on the porch
    she was in the den
    i heard my mama's voice asking someone when
    and i knew she was talking about you
    'cause she cried and she kept on asking why

    You were the one
    mama's first son
    daddy's little man
    my big brother who i love who i love

    you were in my room
    sitting on the floor
    playing with these plastic soldiers marching off to war
    and did you know
    that someday you'd really go
    you went to fight 'cause you always did what's right

    You were the one
    mama's first son
    daddy's little man
    my big brother who i love who i love

    From corner to corner they folded the flag
    and i heard a bugle cry
    holding onto a plastic soldier i said goodbye

    and you were the one
    mama's first son
    daddy's little man
    my big brother who i love

    and you were the one
    mama's first son
    daddy's little man
    my big brother who i love who i loved
