Blood Brothers Lyrics

Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Album: Greatest Hits

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 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

I lost my best friend in an accident and i cry everytime i hear this song, it explains exactly what went through my head when it happened. only a genius can write something like this.

so... i'm sitting in a coffeeshop, just heard this and turned to the lyrics. it is now 5 years post-katrina. i worked that with people going house to house, worked with people on the ground another 2 years after it all, talked to people who lost everything, even hope. my own family lost much, including one dear life. sometimes it just is what it is. and sometimes an artist nails it somehow, unwittingly even. somehow he puts it in context or at least gives it an epitaph. but this one is like an epitaph not just of memory but of hope. thx bruce.

Wish I could give this to all my battle buddies still out there for the good fight. The bond may not be blood, but we've all seen, breathed, lived through and lost a special spirit that saved another...Thank you to all whom I've fought with, and keep your hope alive! My thoughts and prayers are with you all! My Army, my family- HOOAH!! Love always, ~K~C~

This is a perfect song for Clarence from Bruce. I'm going to miss that bond that they always had together. It makes me cry. RIP Big Man

I lost a very good friend last year. Each time I listen to this song, I get really moved because I realize that I could have been a better friend. God bless you, Bruce
