Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Won't be long till I'm in the roses
You'll be strong and you'll find out that
Blood is thicker than mud
[Verse 2]
When I'm gone I will still be with you
Sing my song, I'll be singing with you
Blood is thicker than mud
[Chorus]
As the snow flies
Years pass on by
Blood is thicker than mud
[Verse 3]
Time goes by like a dream of Heaven
Blink your eye, you might miss the sermon
Blood is thicker than mud
[Verse 4]
One foot here, one foot in tomorrow
One more day to drain the cup of sorrow
Blood is thicker than mud
[Chorus]
As the snow flies
Years pass on by
Blood is thicker than mud
[Bridge]
You can be
Complicated, obligated, isolated, automated
Or be
Concentrated, educated, motivated, stimulated
So then you'll be
Celebrated, decorated, coronated, liberated
That's right, 'cause blood is thicker than mud
[Verse 5]
When your way gets dark and lonesome
Turn your head to the stars and know that
Blood, sure enough, is thicker than mud
[Verse 6]
When you get stuck and your wheels are spinning
Just reach out, you'll find what you're missing
Blood is thicker than mud
[Chorus]
As the snow flies
Years pass on by
Blood is thicker than mud
[Chorus]
As the snow flies
Years pass on by
Blood is thicker than mud
Thicker than mud
