Growing up...
on the streets of Birmingham...
Where your name was poor~...
and your life was damned...
I was a hungry black boy
living with the world on my back...
Billie was a white man's son...
living in a one room shack...

And split those days..
in the Alabama heat...
We shared what we had but we..
never have enough to eat...
Mamma said it didn't look right..
black just don't mix with white..
But Billy... was my friend~..
and we swore one rainy night...

To be blood~.. brothers..
And Lord...
I loved him like no other...
We were blood~.. brothers..
Right to the end~...

Turned eighteen..
and we had no place to go...
'Coz how long can..
you watch cotton grow?
Billy said he got the money
put us on the first Greyhound bus...
New York City lights
gonna be greetin' us...

But, the uptown life..
can cost you poverty...
We took abuse..
and we suffered in dignity...
Billy couldn't take nine to five
his soul couldn't stay alive..
He said to me one day
we ain't gonna beat this crime~...

You're my blood~.. brother..
And Lord...
I loved him like no other...
We were blood~.. brothers..
Right to the end~...

Right to the end~...

So I watched him change
as the days went by~~...
And the money rolled in~..
we were livin' high...
He didn't have to tell me
he was breakin' the law...
I knew it was him~..
the man was lookin' for...

And the story goes..
that he caught a knife~...
And he pushed his luck
Oh~... it cost his life...
No matter how much I cried..
I'll never be satisfied...
Cause all it said...
in the daily news~...
"One caucasian died"...

We were blood~.. brothers..
Oh.. I loved him..
Lord.. like no other...
We were blood~.. brothers..
Right to the end...

We were blood~.. brothers...

Oh Lord, I loved him like no other
We were blood~.. brothers..
Right to the end...
