Connor’s Anthem
(hmm-mmm) Old station wagon running out of gas
Laughing in the driveway as the hours pass
You had that crooked smile,
your jacket torn
Sticking by each other since the day we were born
Connor, you picked up
every time I called
Through
the broke days and the broken plans
We were carving out a life with two bare hands
Connor, my best friend,
standing in the rain
Laughing off the losses and taking on the pain If the whole
world shakes or the road caves in
I know where you stand,
yeah I know we win
(yeah, Connor my brother,
to the very end)
We talked about the towns we’d never see
Underneath the branches of the maple tree
Years went rolling fast,
but you never changed
Still the only phone call that stays unchanged
Connor, you’re the anchor
when the river flows
Through the long miles and the weathered stone
You made sure I
never walked alone
Connor, my best friend,
standing in the rain
Laughing off the losses and taking on the pain If the whole
world shakes or the road caves in
I know where you stand,
yeah I know we win (oh-oh-oh,
my brother to the very end)
When the house grows quiet and the night turns cold
Some things stay true,
never growing old
You were always there
Connor, my best friend,
standing in the rain
Laughing off the losses and taking on the pain If the whole
world shakes or the road caves in
I know where you stand,
yeah I know we win Connor,
my best friend, standing in the rain (yeah,
always to the very end)
Connor, my best friend
Yeah, thanks for everything
