BLOOD ON BLOOD

Original Bon Jovi version

Whoa!

Well, I can still remember when I was just a kid
When friends were friends forever and what you said was what you did
Well, it was me and Danny and Bobby we cut each other's hands
Held tight to a promise only brothers understand

But we were so young
(so young)
One for all and all for one
(all for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run

Blood on blood, one on one
We'd still be standing when all was said and done
Blood on blood, one on one
And I'll be there for you till kingdom come
Blood on blood

Well, Bobby was our hero 'cause he had his fake I.D.
When I got busted stealing cigarettes Bobby took the rap for me
Well, Danny knew this white trash girl, we each threw in a ten
She took us to this cheap motel and turned us into men

When we were so young (so young)
One for all and all for one
(all for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run

Blood on blood, one on one
We'd still be standing when all was said and done
Blood on blood, one on one
And I'll be here for you till kingdom come
Like blood on blood, yeah!

[Guitar solo]

Now Bobby's an uptown lawyer, Danny he's a medicine man
And me, I'm just the singer in a long haired rock 'n' roll band
Through the years and miles between us it's been a long and lonely ride
But if I got that call in the dead of the night, I'd be right by your side

Blood on blood, like blood on blood, yeah
Just like blood (blood on blood), blood on blood (blood on blood)
Like blood, just like blood, blood brothers, yeah

Like blood on blood, one on one
We'd still be standing when all was said and done
Blood on blood, one on one
And I'll be here for you till kingdom come
Like blood on blood, yeah!

Blood on blood, like blood on blood
Blood on blood, like blood on blood
