Lyrics

It's been a long day without you, my friend
 And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
 We've come a long way from where we began
 Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
 When I see you again

 Damn, who knew?
 All the planes we flew
 Good things we've been through
 That I'll be standing right here talking to you
 About another path
 I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
 But something told me that it wouldn't last
 Had to switch up
 Look at things different see the bigger picture
 Those were the days
 Hard work forever pays
 Now I see you in a better place

 How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
 Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
 And now you gonna be with me for the last ride

 It's been a long day without you, my friend
 And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
 We've come a long way from where we began
 Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
 When I see you again

 First you both go out your way
 And the vibe is feeling strong
 And what's small turn to a friendship
 A friendship turn into a bond
 And that bond will never be broken
 And the love will never get lost
 And when brotherhood come first
 Then the line will never be crossed
 Established it on our own
 When that line had to be drawn
 And that line is what we reach
 So remember me when I'm gone

 How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
 Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
 And now you gonna be with me for the last ride

 So let the light guide your way, yeah
 Hold every memory as you go
 And every road you take will always lead you home, home

 It's been a long day without you, my friend
 And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
 We've come a long way from where we began
 Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
 When I see you again
 When I see you again
 When I see you again
