Lyrics

[Verse 1] You said the world was magic, I was wide-eyed and laughing We were dancing up to the bright side Forget about your ego , forget about your pride And you will never have to compromise [Chorus] You were only joking You were only joking, brother [Verse 2] We talked about our mothers, kissed the wounds of our fathers I could have been your sister, I would have been your brother You kissed me like I was a soldier headed for war I'm a dying man but I don't know what for [Chorus] And you were only joking You were only joking, brother And you were only joking You were only joking, brother (Yeah, oh yeah) [Verse 3] Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet I bruised my heels on the swollen street We were girls in bars, boys on the town Bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd [Verse 4] You said good friends are hard to come by I laughed and bought you a beer, it's too corny to cry Well, sentiments given or sentiments lost You shake it off with a smirk and a toss [Chorus] And you were only joking You were only joking, brother And you were only joking You were only joking, brother You were only joking (Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet) You were only joking, brother (I bruised my heels on the swollen street) Well, you kissed me like a soldier headed for war (Joking, you were only joking) I'm a dying man You were only joking (Don't know what for, dying man) You were only joking brother (Don't know what for) You were only You were only You were only joking Brother [Outro] I said, sha la, sha la Sha la, sha la Sha la, sha la Sha la, sha la Oh brother Thanks y'all Way to count, alright Thanks y'all Woo hoo!
