Little Brother Lyrics by Joshua Boone

The Outsiders - A New Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2024

[DALLAS]
First they beat us down
One after another
Keep losing ground
Nowhere to take cover
They want us out of town
Then who would they beat on?
Who would they spit on?
Who would they blame it on
If we weren't around?
Now, we're never going back
Everything is lost
And we'll never get it back
'Cause a line's been crossed
Little brother
Sorry I failed you
I could not save you
No I can't even save myself
Little brother
They cannot hurt you anymorе
And they cannot take anymore from mе
If I ain't got you
Then I ain't got nothin' else
If anything was fair
You would still be here
Does anybody care
When a Greaser disappears?
We're never going back
Everything is lost
And we'll never get it back
Cause a line's been crossed
[ENSEMBLE]
Little brother
[DALLAS]
Little brother
[ENSEMBLE]
Sorry I failed you
[DALLAS]
Sorry I failed you
[ENSEMBLE]
I could not save you
[DALLAS]
I could not save you
[DALLAS & ENSEMBLE]
No I can't even save myself
Little brother
[ENSEMBLE]
They can not hurt you anymore
[DALLAS]
They can not hurt you anymore
[ENSEMBLE]
They can not take
[DALLAS & ENSEMBLE]
Any more from me
[ENSEMBLE]
If I ain't got you
[DALLAS]
If I ain't got you
[DALLAS & ENSEMBLE]
Then I ain't got nothin' else
[ENSEMBLE]
If I ain't got you
[DALLAS & ENSEMBLE]
Oh, then I ain't got nothin' else
[DALLAS]
There's only one way out
I finally see that now
They took the only thing that mattered to me anyhow
That's why I'm standing here
No good to run away
That's all I ever done but now's the time for me to stay
Do it for all of us
The faces in the crowd
And when they try to shut you up, then scream it twice as loud
Do it for Cool Hand Luke
Do it for Jesse James
Do it for all the unsung heroes, you don't know their names
Do it for Ponyboy
Do it for Johnny Cade
Don't leave a stone unturned
Don't leave a debt unpaid
Johnny, I am coming home
'Bout to take my final bow
Hope you saved a seat for me
Johnny, can you see me now?
