Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We played king of the mountain
Out on the end
The world come chargin' up the hill
And we were women and men
[Verse 2]
Now there's so much that time
Time and memory fade away
We got our own roads to ride
And chances we gotta take
[Verse 3]
We stood side by side
Each one fightin' for the other
We said until we died
We'd always be blood brothers
[Verse 4]
Now the hardness of this world
Slowly grinds your dreams away
Makin' a fool's joke
Out of the promises we made
[Verse 5]
And what once seemed black and white
Turns to so many shades of gray
We lose ourselves in work to do
Work to do and bills to pay
[Verse 6]
And it's a ride, ride, ride
And there ain't much cover
With no one runnin' by your side
My blood brother
[Verse 7]
On through the houses of the dead
Past those fallen in their tracks
I always movin' ahead
And never lookin' back
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
I don't even know why
I don't know why I made this call
Or if any of this matters
Anymore after all
[Verse 10]
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
