Lyrics Aaron Watson – Blood Brothers

We were just ten years old when we bonded for life
In that maple tree, you and me, and my old timer knife
The trade we made with the blade, sealed a deal like no others
Yeah it hurt like hell but not a teardrop fell

We were blood brothers, same soul with a different shade of skin
Blood is thicker than water, we were thick as thieves through the thick and thin
Growing up in a world calling us different colors
But it was more than black and white, wish everyone would act like blood brothers

Remember when you busted up my lip and I dotted your right eye
I liked your sister so I kissed her behind the bleachers in junior high
Man you were red hot mad, we got suspended from school
And we spent the rest of the day fishing our problems away

We were blood brothers, same soul with a different shade of skin
Blood is thicker than water, we were thick as thieves through the thick and thin
Growing up in a world calling us different colors
But it was more than black and white, wish everyone would act like blood brothers
Blood brothers

When we learn to look through His eyes in heaven above
We’ll see with all hate and heartache there’s nothing stronger than love
When we learn to look through His eyes in heaven above
We’ll see with all hate and heartache there’s nothing stronger than love

We were blood brothers, same soul with a different shade of skin
Blood is thicker than water, we were thick as thieves through the thick and thin
Growing up in a world calling us different colors
But it was more than black and white, wish everyone would act like
Blood brothers, same soul with a different shade of skin
Blood is thicker than water, we were thick as thieves through the thick and thin
Growing up in a world calling us different colors
But it was more than black and white, wish everyone would act like blood brothers
Blood brothers
