Blood Brothers Lyrics - Singles - Ken Boothe

Growing up on the streets of Birmingham 

Where your home was pouring and your life was damned 

I was a hungry black boy living with the world on my back 

Billie was a white man's son living in a one room shack 

And split those days in the Alabama heat 

We shared what we had but we never have enough to eat 

Mamma said it didn't look right, black just don't mix with white 

But Billy was my friend and we swore one rainy night 

To be blood brother 

Lord, I loved him like no other 

We were blood brother right to the end 

To the end, well, well, well 

Turned eighteen and we had no place to go 

'Coz how long can you watch carnival 

Billy said he got the money, put us on the first Greyhound bus 

New York City lights gonna be greetin' us

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Oh, the uptown life can cost you poverty 

We're too amused but we suffered in dignity 

Billy couldn't take nine to five, his soul can't stay alive 

He said to me one day, we ain't gonna beat the crime 

You're my blood brother 

And I loved him like no other 

We were blood brother right till the end 

Well, well, well, yeah 

So I watched him change as the days went by 

And the money rolled in, we were livin' high 

He didn't have to tell me he was breakin' the law 

I knew it was him, the men was lookin' for 

And the story goes that he caught a knife 

And he pushed his luck and it cost his life 

I sat down and I cried on that rainy night 

When I heard heard it on the news 

One [Incomprehensible] had died
