Billy Yates - Brothers Lyrics

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
