Thicker Than Blood
Garth Brooks


She was born in Kansas City, raised in Arkansas 
Fell in love with an “ex-Marine” 
She already had three babies; he had one of his own 
They came together for another and me 

Our family never shared 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 

Bridge: 
And if blood is thicker than water 
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 
How 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
