The Prodigal One - Rusty Old Bracelet

I got a rusty old bracelet that lays on my arm
It don't look like much but don't be alarmed
Well I should polish it so it could look new
But I don't do it if you knew what I knew
It means so much to me
How could I ever relay
It means so much to me
And now I'll tell ya

My brother got it from a secondhand store
He passed away I picked it up off his floor
And now I wear it most every single day
Reminds me of the man he was before that day
He means so much to me
How could I ever relay
He means so much to me
And now I'll tell ya

He was my brother and he was my friend
We had our ups and downs
It all just depends on the day
He got sober he was living it clean
And then he fell into that same old
Drug routine
It meant so much to him
But how could he ever relay
It meant so much to him
And then he told me

He said he got it from a friend next door
He picked it up and he always wanted more
Had to have it most every single day
I still remember who he was before that day
He means so much to me
How could I ever relay
He means so much to me
And now I'll tell ya

And now I wear this chain every single day
Reminds me of the man he was when he
Faded away
The chain of loneliness the chain of sin
The chain of heroin the devil always wins
It means so much to me
How could I ever relay
It means so much to me
And now I'll tell ya

My brother got it from a secondhand store
He passed away I picked it up off his floor
And now I wear it most every single day
Reminds me of the man he was before that day
He means so much to me
How could I ever relay
He means so much to me
And now I've told ya
