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
