Thicker Than Blood - Lyrics by Garth Brooks


Lyrics
She was born in Kansas City

Raised in Arkansas

Fell in love with an ex-
Marine

She already had three babies

He had one of his own

They came together

For another and me

Our family never shared

The same last name

But our family

Was a family, the same(
And they say)

Blood is thicker than water

Oh, but love is

Thicker than blood


Wreck out on the highway

Rain falling down

Lord, he must have

Fell asleep at the wheel

There's a number of people

Just standing around

Lord, I can't condemn

The fear that they feel


For that river of red

Could be the death of me

God, give me strength

And keep reminding me

That blood is thicker than water

Oh, but love is

Thicker than blood


And if blood is

Thicker than water

Then what are we fighting for?

We're all sons and daughters

Of something that

Means so much more

I see it on my TV

But I can't understand

Lord, it's one

Big contradiction to me

How in god's name

We love thy neighbor with fists

In our hands

And kill each other

When we just don't agree


Why can't we see the walls

We can't see through?

And see what God's

Been telling me and you(
And that is)

Blood is thicker than water

Oh, but love

Love is thicker than blood
