I Hope You're Wrong

Friend, when you go, I hope you cure your disease

Pick up the pieces and dust off your jeans

And I'll hit the highway, you know it helps with the grief

When you go your way and take a part of me

And I hope you're wrong about destiny

Oh, and how we are bound by rage and tragedy

Our shackles are strong and the road is steep

But when you are gone, brother in song, I hope you're wrong

Friend, in your eyes I know you've seen the worst in me

Kept all the secrets and helped me believe

Our lives a hymnal, you know it's sad and it's sweet

And I wrote the chorus you found the deed

And I hope you're wrong about destiny

Oh, and how we are bound by rage and tragedy

Our shackles are strong and the road is steep

But when you are gone, brother in song, I hope you're wrong

And our hearts are golden, we're both broke as can be

Pond our salvations for chemicals and grief

I'll bring the matchbook, you bring kerosene

We'll burn the pages and start over clean

And I hope you're wrong about destiny

Oh, and how we are bound by rage and tragedy

Our shackles are strong and the road is steep

But when you are gone, brother in song, I hope you're wrong

But when you are gone, brother in song, I hope you're wrong
