Bruce Springsteen - Blood Brothers lyrics

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.
