I'll Be Back

I'm cryin me a river
as the wind blows through my hair
guitar in arm I take my stand
where I go from here I know not where.

My mind keeps going in circles
as I wander down this road
just a broken heart and a wounded soul
yes I carry a heavy load
I think I will just sit awhile
thinking where I'll run
just gotta get away from here
so I'm following the sun.

I'm cryin me a river
as the wind blows through my hair
guitar in arm I take my stand
where I go from here I know not where.

I'm leavin today,I'm gonna make it on my own
leaving behind the only brother I know
when time has past by and I've shed all my tears
I will come back someday,and take him too
I will give him a life,yes a life brand new.

I'm cryin me a river
as the wind blows through my hair
guitar in arm I take my stand
where I go from here I know not where.

With six string in mind I sing this song
I promise I'll come back
peace of mind I will  bring
so brother,my brother take comfort in God
hide from our father when times get hard
just please think of me ,don't let him bring you down
like he did to me making me run
I'll be back one day brother as soon as I can
and I will take you away from this man we call dad.

I'm cryin me a river
as the wind blows through my hair
guitar in arm I take my stand
where I go from here I know not where
yes brother,my brother I'll be back some day
I promise I'll be back to take you away

MMMmmmm Just cryin me a rver
as the wind blows through my hair
mmmmmmmmmm just cryin me a river as the wind blows through my hairMMMMMMMmmmmmm

    wow..this is such an intense and sincere song dedicated to your brother...I like your chorus..eventhough you don't know where you're going...deep in your heart you'll know that you're coming back...oh i can hear the sad melody coming from your guitar already...keep writing soulful lyrics..you're good at it...

    Should this line be like this? Just not sure it sounds right...
    "when he times get hard" ?
    Otherwise it is pretty good, You certainly get the gist of it.
