Lyrics
They slapped a decal of your face on an 18-wheeler
Smilin' like you would
If we were over to your place on Thanksgiving
In the neighborhood
You were from the true north, strong and free
But we never raised a fuss
You were always one of us
You were always one of us
Boy, there ain't a thing to discuss
Miss you like the rain missed the bus
Road sign reading someplace bluebirds sing
And that about just sums it up
Life ain't but a dream, it's a bitter cup
Nothing stays the same
It'll make you cry, it'll make you cuss
You were always one of us
You made an honest woman of my big sister
You built your house on stone
If we needed a hand or a crying shoulder
You picked up the phone
You were sweat of the brow from Sunday morning
To the dust
You were always one of us
You were always one of us
Boy, there ain't a thing to discuss
Miss you like the rain missed the bus
Road sign reading someplace bluebirds sing
And that about just sums it up
Life ain't but a dream, it's a bitter cup
Nothing stays the same
It'll make you cry, it'll make you cuss
You were always one of us
There's a gift from my beginnin'
That keeps a man alive
That's you in your children's voices
That's you in their eyes
May the silver line of your memory run
Long before it rusts
You were always one of us
You were always one of us
Boy, there ain't a thing to discuss
Miss you like the rain missed the bus
Road sign reading someplace bluebirds sing
And that about just sums it up
Life ain't but a dream, it's a bitter cup
Nothing stays the same
It'll make you cry, it'll make you cuss
You were always one of us
One of us
Boy, there ain't a thing to discuss
Miss you like the rain missed the bus
Road sign reading someplace bluebirds sing
And that about just sums it up
Life ain't but a dream, it's a bitter cup
Nothing stays the same
It'll make you cry, it'll make you cuss
You were always one of us
It'll make you cry, it'll make you cuss
You were always one of us
Smilin' like you would
If we were over to your place on Thanksgiving
In the neighborhood
You were from the true north, strong and free
But we never raised a fuss
You were always one of us
You were always one of us
Boy, there ain't a thing to discuss
Miss you like the rain missed the bus
Road sign reading someplace bluebirds sing
And that about just sums it up
Life ain't but a dream, it's a bitter cup
Nothing stays the same
It'll make you cry, it'll make you cuss
You were always one of us
You made an honest woman of my big sister
You built your house on stone
If we needed a hand or a crying shoulder
You picked up the phone
You were sweat of the brow from Sunday morning
To the dust
You were always one of us
You were always one of us
Boy, there ain't a thing to discuss
Miss you like the rain missed the bus
Road sign reading someplace bluebirds sing
And that about just sums it up
Life ain't but a dream, it's a bitter cup
Nothing stays the same
It'll make you cry, it'll make you cuss
