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 had 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
That blood is
Thicker than water
Oh, but love is
Thicker than blood
And if blood is
Thicker than water
Well, 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
That, blood is
Thicker than water
Oh, but love
Love is thicker
Than blood
She was born in
Kansas City
Raised in Arkansas
Fell in love with
An ex-Marine...
