Willie Nelson Band of Brothers Lyrics
We’re a band of brothers and sisters and whatever
On a mission to break all the rules
And I know you love me ’cause I love you too
But you can’t tell me what to do
And I sure don’t know where we’re going
I’m really not sure where we’ve been
But if I can take you all with me
I’d sure like to go there again
‘Cause we’re a band of brothers and sisters and whatever
On a mission to break all the rules
And I know you love me ’cause I love you too
But you can’t tell me what to do
No, you can’t tell me what to do
When all of the songs have been written
And when all of the music is played
When the curtain comes down
We’ll still be around to make sure the musicians are paid
‘Cause we’re a band of brothers sisters and whatever
With a mission to break all the rules
And I know you love me ’cause I love you too
If you can’t tell me what to do
We’re a band of brothers and sisters and whatever
With a mission to break all the rules
And I know you love me ’cause I love you too
But you can’t tell me what to do
I know you love me ’cause I love you too
But you can’t tell me what to do
