Little Brother's Gone

[Verse] Sunrise on the porch, coffee in my hand, There's a muddy paw print, don't quite understand, Yarn tail a-flickin', out the door he's drawn, Looks like Little Brother's gone. [Verse 2] Tracks in the flower bed, rose bush and briar, Through the cornfield maze, past the chicken wire, Neighbors hollerin', "Saw him at the dawn!" Guess our Little Brother's gone. [Chorus] Little Brother's gone, chased the morning light, Roamin' through the fields, in the dead of night, Every nook and cranny, every hill and lawn, Look around, Little Brother's gone. [Verse 3] Barn owl hoots and the cattle low moan, Crickets serenade, 'neath the harvest moon's glow, Silent nights get quiet when he's not hangin' on, Sure as rain, Little Brother's gone. [Verse 4] Windowsill is empty, once his favorite chair, Wonder where he's wanderin’, wishin' he was there, Got his bowl of milk, but his shadow's withdrawn, Another night, Little Brother's gone. [Chorus] Little Brother's gone, chased the morning light, Roamin' through the fields, in the dead of night, Every nook and cranny, every hill and lawn, Look around, Little Brother's gone.
