The day the towers fell

Me and my buddy Ray
We worked side by side
Long days in the store
Just trying to get by

Different roads took us ways 
Life pulled us away
But our hearts were changed forever
On that September day.

Tears in our eyes,
Didn’t know what to say
My wife called the phone
Said, “Turn the TV on, and pray”

The day the towers fell
That day we went through hell. 
Both of Us carry the scars 
We have our own lives so far apart 
 A bond forged in fire I'm here to tell 
My brother forever ..on,
 The day the towers fell.

He's got his life 
and I have mine 
I still sending songs 
 I've written all the time. 
He tells me they're good 
Just like a brother should.
And I thank God for Him 
I consider him next of Kin.

’Cause the day the towers fell
Time slowed to a crawl
Two working-class souls
Leaned against the wall
Didn’t say much at that time 
But we both could tell
Some bonds don’t break
They survive the fires of hell….
The day the towers fell 

Miles don’t mean nothin’
When you’ve seen that kind of pain
Some friendships are fire
They survive the rain.

’Cause the day the towers fell
Time slowed to a crawl
Two working-class souls
Leaned against the wall
Didn’t say much at that time 
But we both could tell
Some bonds don’t break
They survive the fires of hell….
The day the towers fell 

Country , dark, emotional
