Right Next To Tommy

We grew up

running the same old streets

Scraping our knees

on the summer concrete

You were always a step

ahead of my stride

But you never

left me

behind

Through the late-night talks

and the backyard games

We built a bond

that time can't change

The years fly by

and the world gets loud

But you still make your brother proud

That's my brother Tommy,

man, that's my blood Standing by me when the rain turns to

mud The truest friend that I'll ever know No matter how far

down the road we go

Yeah, we fight and we laugh and we carry the weight Through

every twist of a different fate

If the whole world shakes,

I know where I stand Right next to Tommy,

the best kind of man

You've got a heart that can clear out the dark

A steady hand when the fires start

We don't say it enough,

how the days get long

But having you there keeps a person strong

From sharing clothes

to sharing a name

Life shifted gears, but we stayed the same

That's my brother Tommy,

man, that's my blood Standing by me when the rain turns to

mud The truest friend that I'll ever know No matter how far

down the road we go

Yeah, we fight and we laugh and we carry the weight Through

every twist of a different fate

If the whole world shakes,

I know where I stand Right next to Tommy,

the best kind of man

(yeah, the best kind)

And if you ever need a hand to hold

Or a shoulder to lean on

when the world gets cold

Just call my name,

you don't even have to ask

Because looking out for you

is my favorite task

Yeah, Tommy, you're the best kind of man

My brother,

my buddy, until the very end

Right there until the end (until the

end)
