Beer Brothers

We grew up in matching outfits
Fall in line for picture time
Better take your elbows off the table
Both our moms were best of friends
Raised us in one house together
Yours was steady while mine's a bit unstable
Your daddy died when you were young
Mine was there but I ignored him
If you couldn't have one I didn't want one neither

We were boys who didn't know
Make believing up a world of our own
We may not have the same blood
But we're always near and dear to each other
And year after year
And beer after beer
We're brothers
We're brothers

I got stories you don't remember
You got ones I don't recall
But somewhere in there we were both together
Kitchen cuts and scrapes and bruises
Playing games I'd always lose
Stealing cigarettes and acting hard
Your mother wanted better for you
And y'all got out so long ago
But we remember like it was this morning

We were boys who didn't know
Make believing up a world of our own
We may not have the same blood
But we're always near and dear to each other
And year after year
And beer after beer
We're brothers
We're brothers

We're still boys but now we know
About the world as we get old
We don't have to share blood to always be near and dear to each other
'Cause year after year
And beer after beer
We're still here
