Big Brother
 Play 
Lyrics
You boys shared a bedroom
'Til the day you turned 16
Your little brother worshiped you
But you had to find your dream

You went to join the army
But he didn't want you to go
You said you'd come back to see him play
And drove on down the road

Now he's starin' at your picture on his wall
And tosses 'round your old worn out football
He wants everything you promised to come true
Hey big brother, he still looks up to you
Up to you

He plays all the same sports
Throws a rocket tight spiral
His jersey has your name and number
And he seems to have no rivals

He's humble, sweet, and smart
And is great with all the kids
Always tryin' to imitate
Every little thing you did

Now your letter jacket's hangin' on his chair
And he always does his best to play so fair
He wants everything he does to pass your test
Hey big brother, he swears you were the best

Big brother, you could do no wrong, umm
Bbig brother, you were so strong
I wish there was some way you'd come back again
To be his big brother and friend

The day we heard you died
He was playing out in the yard
He cried for days and days on end
With such a broken heart

Now you're starin' from your picture on the wall
And your name's on that field where he plays ball
He swears everything you promised will come true
Your little brother, he's just like you
He's just like you
Oh, just like you
