Blue And Sentimental-Ike Quebec

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 Oh 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 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 and got some time, I'd never thought That waitin' for the transfer bus to arrive at gate number one When it pulled up he'd step 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 football games that we played in There we stood on different sides again And 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 we were friends for life I wore blue and he wore brown True friends are few and far between But nothing comes between true friends 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 I wore blue and he wore brown I wore blue and he wore brown
