Lyrics

Thicker Than Blood
Drew James © 2006

I stand wounded at the edge of night
Cryin’ to the moon can’t you make it right
As the mad rain falls down and the whiskey wind it blows

If the devil calls out my name
I got nowhere to lay the blame
Sixty years of trouble is all I have to show

And my blues flow down like a river
Blues flow down like a river
Blues flow down like a river
Thicker than blood

A burdened mind makes it hard to stand
I live in the broken promised land
I’m never gonna make it up to the top of the hill

Can’t repent cause it’s too late
My last horse has left the gate
And it’s pulled up lame at the door of the bonemeal mill

(Chorus)

I’ve got one more thing to say
Before I slowly drift away
There may be things
That you think you would never do

That’s how I used to feel
Till my fate turned like a wheel
If it can happen to me it can happen to you

And your blues will flow like a river
Blues will flow like a river
Blues will flow like a river
Thicker than blood

(Repeat last chorus)
