Eric Mallon - Brother's Blood Lyrics

He's a blue collar silver hammer
Hard working feet on the ground
I'm chipping away dreams of platinum with my head on the clouds
He settled down in the suburbs
A couple of kids and a wife
I'm breaking down again under the highway lights

I'm still chasing something that he found long ago

And I know if I'm gonna find it
It's because he's right beside me
Cheering me on and picking me up
Cause that's what a family does
Some say it's thicker than water
But I say it's thicker than mud
Yeah aside from God I guess I really don't need that much
When I got my brother's blood

He's three years and ten days older
But a lifetime smarter than me
And I get lost in the pack trying to follow his lead
So I lie and tell him I'm making waves man
Won't be long before my names on a plaque
But if he only knew how little hope I have

I'm still haunted by the ghost of my father, he's found a way to cope

And I know if I'm gonna find it
It's because he's right beside me
Cheering me on and picking me up
Cause that's what a family does
Some say it's thicker than water
But I say it's thicker than mud
Yeah aside from God I guess I really don't need that much
So I thank God that he gave me just enough
Of my brother's blood
Of my brother's blood
