They slapped a decal of your face on an eighteen-wheeler

smiling 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

Roll sign reading

Some place 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

Roll sign reading

Some place 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 the beginning

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

Roll sign reading

Some place 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

Roll sign reading

Some place 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
