Standin in your yard

Verse 1

We were barefoot boys on a red dirt road

Two bikes leaning where the willow grows

You could whistle any bird you heard

I never learned a single one

Verse 2

Your mama kept your room just like you left

Your jacket hanging on the closet door

I still reach to call you when it rains

Then remember what the phone is for

Chorus

Brother I am standing in your yard

Brother I am talking to the dark

You were the other half of every plan I made

Brother I am standing in your yard

Verse 3

We carved our names into the water tower

Swore we'd never leave this town behind

Now I drive past that rusted ladder

And I park there every night

Chorus

Brother I am standing in your yard

Brother I am talking to the dark

You were the other half of every plan I made

Brother I am standing in your yard

Bridge

Seventeen summers

Seventeen winters too

Somebody should have told me

That a friend could be that true

Chorus

Brother I am standing in your yard

Brother I am talking to the dark

You were the other half of every plan I made

Brother I am standing in your yard

Outro

Brother I am standing in your yard

(Brother)

Brother I am talking to the dark
