Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mash walks the fields where the sun hangs low,
Adam’s boots left prints in the dirt below.
He’s the one they talk about in town,
With a smile that can turn the world around.
I’m just the shadow where his light don’t go,
But I follow him still, through the highs and the lows.

[Chorus]
Oh, my brother Adam, he’s a better man than me,
He’s got the charm, the laugh, the wild and free.
Loves good-lookin’ women and they all love him back,
While I trail behind on a separate track.
I idolize him, though it’s hard to stand,
In the shadow of a better man.

[Verse 2]
He’s got a way with words, like a poet’s hand,
Turns a broken heart into shifting sand.
He’s the one Mama brags about to her friends,
Says, “That boy could build a bridge where a river bends.”
But I’m just Mash, with my head bowed low,
Trying to learn from the seeds he sows.

[Prechorus]
Sometimes I wonder, as the nights grow cold,
If he feels the weight of the stories told.

[Chorus]
Oh, my brother Adam, he’s a better man than me,
He’s got the charm, the laugh, the wild and free.
Loves good-lookin’ women and they all love him back,
While I trail behind on a separate track.
I idolize him, though it’s hard to stand,
In the shadow of a better man.

[Bridge]
He drinks his whiskey slow, like it’s telling a tale,
While I just sit quiet, clutching my ginger ale.
He dances like the wind, makes the whole room sway,
And I’m the steady rock that fades away.
