We were like a pair of shoes, you never saw one of us – without the other, we were brothers but we weren’t kin – Those neighborhood football games was the only time – you might ever see us on different teams back then – Ah we’d cuss one another for all that the other was worth – but in our hearts we were only cussin each other’s shirt
~ChOrUs~
I wore blue and he wore brown – but we both knew the colors didn’t count – at the end of the day we’d walk away – there was no doubt that we were friends for life – i wore blue and he wore brown
We lost touch, I got a job working for the state – he did a crime, got some time, oh I’d never thought – that waitin’ for the transfer bus to arrive at the gate number one – when it pulled up he’d stepp off in the cuffs, oh how i fought – back the tears as i led him down to cell block three – he said i know you’re just doing your job, as I turned the key – And just like those neighborhood football games that we played in – there we stood on different sides again
~ChOrus~
True friends are few and far between – but nothing comes between true friends
~Chorus~
