But You Didn't

You're the only big brother I ever had.
When we were just kids
I always wanted to tag along with you.
I was so much younger than you.
You and your friends were "big kids."
I thought you'd tell me to go away and leave you alone ...

But you didn't.

And later on, when I got my driver's license
You let me borrow your car.
I tried to be careful
But they said the wreck was my fault.
I thought you'd get mad and yell at me ...

But you didn't.

So I decided I'd make it all up to you

when you came home from Vietnam ...

But you didn't.
