Blood Brothers


Blood Brothers

We played king of the mountain
out on the end
The world come chargin' up the hill,
and we were women and men

Now there's so much that time,
time and memory fade away
We got our own roads to ride
and chances we gotta take

We stood side by side
each one fightin' for the other
We said until we died
we'd always be blood brothers

Now the hardness of this world
slowly grinds your dreams away
Makin' a fool's joke
out of the promises we make
And what once seemed black and white
turns to so many shades of gray
We lose ourselves in work to do
and bills to pay

And it's a ride, ride, ride,
and there ain't much cover
With no one runnin' by your side
my blood brother

On through the houses of the dead
past those fallen in their tracks
Always movin' ahead
and never lookin' back

Now I don't know how I feel,
I don't know how I feel tonight
If I've fallen 'neath the wheel,
if I've lost or I've gained sight
I don't even know why,
I don't know why
I made this call
Or if any of this matters anymore
after all

But the stars are burnin' bright
like some mystery uncovered
I'll keep movin' through the dark
with you in my heart
My blood brother


Bruce Springsteen
