I still laugh when I think about it
Playing cards in the back yard
Never noticed how the house moved

Back and forth like a tree in June
Your mother never let on
Why you only ate once a day

She was a tough one
She would bend but she would not break


I still try not to think about it
Getting chased in the second grade
Teasing me so much 'cause I was small

They never touched you at all
You had my back until the day you moved
Remember what we used to say?

"Brother pacts are like the Golden Gate,
They will bend but they will not break"


It's true, they don't make them like they used to
Fall apart due to cheap glue
Spend your Saturdays in Hollywood

Trying to get a glimpse of something good
Take a tour inside a motorcade
Live the life you wish you would have made

When it's all just a heartache
You will bend but you will not break
