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 - Ah 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 that 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, got some time, oh I'd never thought - that waitin' for the transfer bus to arrive at the gate number one - when it pulled up he'd stepp 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 neighborhood football games that we played in - there we stood on different sides again

True friends are few and far between - but nothing comes between true friends
