Growing up on the streets of BirminghamWhere your home was pouring and your life was damnedI was a hungry black boy living with the world on my backBillie was a white man's son living in a one room shackAnd split those days in the Alabama heatWe shared what we had but we never have enough to eatMamma said it didn't look right, black just don't mix with whiteBut Billy was my friend and we swore one rainy nightTo be blood brotherLord, I loved him like no otherWe were blood brother right to the endTo the end, well, well, wellTurned eighteen and we had no place to go'Cause how long can you watch carnivalBilly said he got the money, put us on the first Greyhound busNew York City lights gonna be greetin' usOh, the uptown life can cost you povertyWe're too amused but we suffered in dignityBilly couldn't take nine to five, his soul can't stay aliveHe said to me one day, we ain't gonna beat the crimeYou're my blood brotherLetras de cancionesAnd I loved him like no otherWe were blood brother right till the endWell, well, well, yeahSo I watched him change as the days went byAnd the money rolled in, we were livin' highHe didn't have to tell me he was breakin' the lawI knew it was him, the men was lookin' forAnd the story goes that he caught a knifeAnd he pushed his luck and it cost his lifeI sat down and I cried on that rainy nightWhen I heard heard it on the newsOne [Incomprehensible] had diedWe were blood brotherAnd I loved him like no otherHe was my blood brotherAnd I loved him like no otherThey were blood brotherAnd he loved him like no otherThey were blood brotherAnd he loved him like no other From Letras Mania
