Andrew Peterson - My Brother Pete lyrics

My older brother is- he's three
Years older than I am
And one of those guys who's
Really really opinionated, and
Really really intelligent, which
The two kinda go hand in hand, but he's
Also very single i think part of the reason
He always says these comments in public that
Are really offensive
Because he thinks he knows
How things should work in the world
And he doesn't have a spouse to
Tell him that he's wrong so for example
He and I wеre driving around trying to find
A parking place one timе- this is
Going to make you hate my brother but
We were trying to find a parking
Place one time, and we couldn't find
One, and he said, "man
Those handicap parking places" I
Said, "what's wrong?" And he said, "it just
Frustrates me, it's so unfair" I said
"what's unfair about it?" He said
"they should be in the back since they
Get to roll" And I just looked at him like
How do you get through the day without
Getting beat up? I just can't
Even believe it! And then he says "well
I'm just kidding" And he's
Not really serious about
It but the fact that it ever crossed his
Mind he uh, he's a great guy
And I really do love him he's as
Giving as anyone I've ever met
But God has balanced out my brother's really
Terrible opinionatedness with really
Terrible luck so
In any given situation the very worst thing
Always happens to my brother like
He got- he's one of those guys who gets
Two tickets in the same day i remember
One time, he set his yard on fire this
Summer like, he was out collecting branches
And he put them all in the
Pile that he always puts them
In, set it on fire, went
Inside to get a drink, and
While he was inside, he heard
(knocking sound) and his neighbor was
Standing there and he goes
"your yard's on fire" And my
Brother just panicked and
Ran outside and forgot to put his shoes
On so he stomped the fire out
It was in the grass, it was
Spreading and he stomped it out and
Burned the bottom of socks off
So they were just leg warmers and then the
Fire department came and gave him a ticket!
So I decided to put one
Of my brother's stories to
Music, so here you go, this is entirely true
I promise
