Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's been time in my life
When the road was so cold
Can't find a friend
Anywhere at all
So my brother said to me
Chuck, you gotta stand tall
[Verse 2]
Because life is full of sorrow
Heartaches and pain
Again and again
[Verse 3]
I woke up this morning
My momma, she was crying
So I looked out my window
Police lights was flashing
People were screaming
So I ran down to the street
A friend grabbed my shoulder
And he said these words to me
[Verse 4]
Life is full of sorrow
So I have to tell you this
Your brother is gone
[Verse 5]
Heartaches and pain
Heartache
Heartaches and pain
Ooh
Oh
Ooh
Oh, no, no, no, no
Heartaches and pain
Oh
Heartaches and pain
No, no, ahh, no
Heartaches and pain
Heartaches and pain
Heartaches and pain
