"Same Here" lyrics
"Same Here"
(feat. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy)
How are things in California
I hear the traffic's just insane
Plastic people and paparazzi
Yeah, I know all the left coast clichés
But tell me, is there a bar on your corner
Where you buy each other beers
And solve all the world's problems
Same here
We went out to watch the sunset
On our last night in Cozumel
Stumbled on some local wedding
On the beach by our hotel
Though I didn't know the language
I recognize the tears
People cry when they're happy
Same here
However you talk, whatever you think
From the songs that you sing to the drink that you drink
If you miss your mama and worry 'bout your babies
And love each other like crazy
And want someone to share your hopes and fears
Same here
I've got a friend across the ocean
Seems like a million miles away
He says our worlds are very different
Yeah, that's true, but I gotta say
He's got his own kind of football team that
Lets him down every year
A wife he loves and a bunch of dreams
For his country he holds so dear
He prays for peace and freedom
Same here
- Hi, Brad
- Hello, Mr. President
- Hi, glad to see you
- What's "Same here" in Ukrainian?
- "Так само". We speak different languages in our life. Yes, but I think we appreciate the same things - children, freedom, our flag, our soldiers, our people. The biggest treasure we have. And friends. And we're proud of our army who defends our freedom and will defend our lives.
However you talk, whatever you think
From the songs that you sing to the drink that you drink
(We're fighting for our children, our parents to defend our houses and families)
And love each other like crazy
And want someone to share your hopes and fears
(Так само. There's no distance between our countries in such values. That is very important to see that they are really in many, in many things really the same.)
"Same Here" includes a brief conversation with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Brad Paisley shared on Twitter on the release day, the 24th of February, 2023, "On this one year anniversary of the invasion, I'm reminded of the ways we are all so similar. Here is the first song available from my new project. This is 'Same Here'. Featuring Pres. Volodymyr Zelenskyy."
Brad Paisley told The Associated Press that he wrote the song after watching news showing Russian troops invading Ukraine. "You can put us in different places with different flags and different languages, but we have so many similarities," he said. "I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I didn't sort of swing for the fence with things like this. For me, I'm happiest dealing with stuff as a songwriter that's very true and very, very passionate. And sometimes I don't know if you'd call it risky, but it's more like it's bigger than me."
Paisley is an ambassador for Ukraine's United24 fundraising campaign, and royalties for "Same Here" are donated to United24 which helps build houses for thousands of Ukrainians displaced by the war.

Hotter than the heat in July
