[Verse 1]
'Bout a dozen years ago
Just a young man on the road
Full of hope and full of life
Two young boys and a pretty wife
One drunk took everything, oh
So senseless like a dream
Takes a fool to drink and drive as the water fills my eyes

[Chorus]
G.W. and me, always lift the memories
You’re my brother and my friend
And I loved you 'til the end

[Verse 2]
There was a promise given you
And I swear I'll see it through
I take the lion from the cage, let it all be in your name (Name, name, name)
This work I love I have to share
Seems like somehow that you’re still here
'Cause I know you're lookin' down
And I hope I made you proud

[Chorus]
G.W. and me, always lift the memories
You're my brother, you're my friend
And I loved you 'til the end
Mmm, G.W. and me, always lift the memories
You're my brother, you’re my friend
And I loved you ’til the end
G.W. and me, always lift our memories
You're my brother, you’re my friend
And I loved you 'til the end
