Little brother we had five thousand days
No longer can I hold your hand
Little brother got to send you on your way
We've crossed the street in our dirty feet
To find a better life on the other side
So go on without me now
I need a pair of boots that fit me well
'cause my streets aren't paved with gold

Little brother we had five thousand days
I figured out how to survive
Little brother got to send you on your way
We've got to live our separate lives
Little brother bless you, may you go through life
Always dodging horses, always stepping right
'Cause together we were lost, so go on without me now
Be sure to look before you cross, you can go farther 
now
I need a pair of boots that fit me well
'cuz my streets aren't paved with gold

Little brother we had five thousand days
We laughed and played when we weren't afraid
Little brother got to send you on your way

Go be the kid you were meant to be
Little brother bless you, may you go through life
Always dodging horses, always stepping right

Yes. We used to laugh a lot and that counts for 
everything.
Yet we couldn't manage love without our histories.
I need a pair of boots that fit me well
'cause my streets aren't paved with gold

Little brother we had five thousand days
No longer can I hold your hand
Little brother got to send you on your way
We've crossed the street in our dirty feet
Little brother bless you, may you go through life
Always dodging horses, always stepping right
Little brother we had five thousand days
We laughed and played when we weren't afraid
Little brother got to send you on your way
Go be the kid you were meant to be

Little brother
Little brother
No longer can I hold your hand
