She was born in kansas city
Raised in arkansas
Fell in love with an ex marine
She hardly had three babies
Yet 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 me 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 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 and that is
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
