Blood Brothers (Band Version)

BLOOD BROTHERS

They were just kids kicking the football around

Trading dirty magazines with the pages all stuck down

There was nothing left to do in their town

But hide in machinery and places that you’re not allowed

Running through the wheat farm getting lost in open spaces

Innocence written all over their pre-teen faces

Still young and naive to believe anything they told each other

One liked to dream, the other his protector

They were blood brothers

They were blood brothers

The smell of cheap cologne and cracks in the walls

Second hand cars made for breaking the rules

Everything was forever nothing ever changed at all

Time has a way to take it’s toll

They were blood brothers

They were blood brothers

But now that bond is broken and they ain’t spoken in years

As they got older the truth became clear

That grown up problems kill off the young

And blood dries up

Now years have gone by and they’re eachothers ghost

They’ll still have the memories of what mattered the most

And as the wind blows through the corridors of time

You can still hear their laughter echoing through the pine

They were blood brothers

They were blood brothers

But now that bond is broken and they haven’t spoken in years

As they got older the truth became clear

That grown up problems kill off the young

And blood dries up

And blood dries up

And blood dries up
