Billy Yates - Brothers lyrics

rate me

I remember the day, they brought him home

They warned me ‘bout the soft spot, said leave ‘im alone

He got all the attention, I didn’t like ‘im at all

Bu’ we were brothers

We slept in twin beds, shared the same room

He’d mess with my stuff, that wasn’t cool

He’d tagged along and we fought like fools

Bu’ we were brothers

Bu’ don’t let that fool you we were there for one another

T’ get to one, you had to go through the other

That’s what you do, you look out for each other

When you’re brothers

Yeah we got the same nose and the same colored eyes

They say that we walk and we talk just alike

Th’ blood runs deep, an’ there’s a tie that binds

When you’re brothers

After graduation, I got ‘n my truck

I told him goodbye, said let’s keep in touch

I wound up in Dallas, now I don’t see him much

Bu’ we’re brothers

Last time I saw ‘im we were sayin’ good-bye

Lay daddy to rest, an’ later that night

We hugged each other and we both cried

We were brothers

Just like always we were there for one another

Side by side lookin’ out for each other

That’s how it is when you love one another

An’ you’re brothers

Yeah we got the same nose and the same colored eyes

They say that we walk and we talk just alike

Th’ blood runs deep, an’ there’s a tie that binds

When you’re brothers

I remember the day, they brought ‘im home

They warned me ‘bout the soft spot, said leave ‘im alone

He got all the attention, I didn’t like him at all

But we were brothers
