TOMMYｰGoodbye My Brotherｰ

A love story between two men. 歌詞 Two months in, new place, new crew Tryna find my way, don't know what to do Then one day, somebody walked through the door Tommy the tank guy — came to help us all At first he was shy, barely said a word Looking around like, “Man, this is weird” Different faces, different atmosphere Wondering how the hell do I fit in here? My first impression? “Man, this dude is strange.” Sometimes what he said made no sense Smart guy? Yeah, that was my first thought But that didn't last too long Hey Tommy, Tommy, where you gonna go? We were running this place like a midnight show From awkward days to nights getting loud You became one of us, part of the crowd Hey Tommy, Tommy, raise your glass tonight We don't know where the road goes, but we'll be alright You came as a stranger, you left as a friend One hell of a ride — we don't want it to end Your welcome party? Honestly, I don't remember much Too much booze, too much smoke, too much stuff But when the alcohol hit Tommy changed completely Quiet little Tommy disappeared Suddenly louder than anybody we'd seen “Who the hell is this guy?” Yeah, we all knew The more he drank The more Tommy came through And somewhere along the way, something changed That guy who looked helpless wasn't helpless anymore At first we thought, “Is this guy gonna be okay?” Then suddenly, he was showing us the way Didn't notice when the switch was made From “Can he handle this?” To “Tommy's got our back” One day you looked up And Tommy was holding it down Then Tommy found a partner, side by side Another guy always by his side Always together, always in sync If their shifts didn't match, they looked a little sad They depended on each other Day after day Complaining about the job But never walked away Before we knew it, the two of them Were running the tanks like they owned the place More time together, more laughs, more fights More drinks after work, more late nights They'd bitch about the job They'd bitch about the world Then laugh about it all Like two crazy fools Somehow through all that noise They became a team Two guys, one shift, one crazy dream Then one day… The news came down. His partner was moving. Different place. Different shift. Different road. Three of us drinking Then Tommy lost control “I'm gonna talk to the boss!” Pulled out his phone right there Sent a message to the boss No hesitation, no waiting till tomorrow Tommy was fighting Like there was no tomorrow Then Tommy sat down with the boss Trying to change the plan But somehow the conversation Took a different turn again “I wanna go back to Fukuoka…” Wait… what? How the hell did we get here? Nobody really knows One conversation later Tommy made his choice He was leaving the company And we lost our voice Hey Tommy, Tommy, where you gonna go? We were running this place like a midnight show From awkward days to nights getting loud You became one of us, part of the crowd Hey Tommy, Tommy, raise your glass tonight We don't know where the road goes, but we'll be alright You came as a stranger, you left as a friend One hell of a ride — we don't want it to end Before you left, we drank again and again Izakaya nights with the same old friends Clubs downtown, lights flashing bright Even the gay bar — yeah, we went that night Didn't matter where Didn't matter when If there was a drink on the table We were going in Every morning came with a price to pay Another hangover waiting the next day But we laughed So who really cared? Then one day at the office Right in front of everybody Your partner brought you cake And fed you like a king Everybody watching Nobody saying a thing Just laughing at the scene Like, “What the hell is this?” But honestly… That's the kind of moment We knew we'd miss Then came the final day The day we knew was coming Bags packed, tickets ready So many people came to say goodbye From the office to the station Then straight to the sky Morning drinks Afternoon drinks No time to waste We kept drinking all the way Till we reached the airport gates One last toast One last laugh One last crazy ride Tommy, my brother You were one hell of a time Hey Tommy, Tommy, now you're on your way Another city, another life, another day We had the crazy nights We had the stupid fights We had the laughs We had the good times You came in as a stranger But you didn't leave that way You became our brother Some things never fade Tommy… It was fun when you were here. Take care of yourself. And don't forget us. Goodbye, Tommy. And Brian? Yeah… Brian's still doing fine.
