Blood Brothers - Aaron Watson

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

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

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
