Lyrics




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
Oh we'd cuss one another for all that the other was worth
But in our hearts we were only cussin' 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 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 and got some time, I'd never thought
That waitin' for the transfer bus to arrive at gate number one
When it pulled up he'd step off in the cuffs, oh how I fought
Back the tears as I led him down to cell block three
He said I know you're just doing your job, as I turned the key
And just like those football games that we played in
There we stood on different sides again
And 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 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
I wore blue and he wore brown
I wore blue and he wore brown
