Blue And Sentimental - Remastered 2007/Rudy Van Gelder Edition

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
