Blue And Brown

We were like a pair of shoes you never saw one of us

Without the other we were brothers but we weren't kin

Those neighborhood football games was the only time

You might ever see us on different teams back then

Ah we'd cuss one another for all that the other was worth

But in our hearts we were only cussing each other's shirt

I wore blue and he wore brown

But we both knew the colors didn't count

At the end of the day we'd walk away

There was no doubt that we were friends for life

I wore blue and he wore brown

We lost touch I got a job working for the state

He did a crime got some time oh I'd never thought

That waitin' for the transfer bus to arrive at gate number one

When it pulled up he'd stop off in cuffs oh how I fought

Back the tears as I led him down the cell block three

He said I know you're just doing your job as I turned the key

And just like those football games again we played in

There we stood on different sides again

I wore blue and he wore brown

But we both knew the colors didn't count

At the end of the day we'd walk away

There was no doubt that we were friends for life

I wore blue and he wore brown

True friends are few and far between

But nothing comes between true friends

I wore blue and he wore brown

But we both knew the colors didn't count

At the end of the day we'd walk away

There was no doubt that we were friends for life

I wore blue and he wore brown
