Brothers
LoCash Lyrics

Couple boys in the seventh grade
The story starts with two young boys in middle school who are best friends.

Hangin' out at the roller rink
They must have spent a lot of their free time together.

Wasn't hard to twist my arm
One of them must have suggested they go meet some girls, and the other agreed without much arm-twisting.

And go over where the girls hang
They went to a part of the roller rink where they knew there would be girls.

Double dare me to get her name
One of them dared the other to approach a girl and get her name.

That turned into a couple skates
They probably went roller skating with those girls.

Brothers
Throughout everything, they remained as close as brothers.

16 in a Bronco
They are now 16 years old and driving.

Tire blown from a pothole
They hit a pothole that blew out one of their tires.

Go figure, in the middle of the night, you're
This happened in the middle of the night when most people would be asleep.

The only one that picked up the phone
The singer was stranded on the side of the road and his friend was the only one who picked up the phone when he called for help.

Picked me up on the side of the road
His friend drove to the side of the road to pick him up in his Bronco.

We jammed out the whole ride home
They enjoyed listening to music together during the drive home.

Damn, where did time go, brother?
They can't believe how quickly time has passed since they were in middle school.

You call me out when I'm trippin'
The two friends hold each other accountable and will call each other out if needed.

Pour 'em strong when I'm sippin'
They know how to support each other, even if it's just by pouring a stronger drink.

If I holler at my boy, you'll be there in a minute
Whenever one of them needs help, the other is always there within a minute.

Yeah, you know I got your back
They have each other's backs through thick and thin.

Since we were bad boys in some fast toys
They've been close friends ever since their younger, more reckless days.

On the back roads, we ride (We ride)
One of their favorite pastimes together is driving down back roads.

It's the way it is, couple crazy kids
They accept that they are like two crazy kids who enjoy having fun together until the end.

Until the day we die
They will be friends forever, even until the end of their lives.

I'm like lightning, you're like thunder
They are different in some ways but can still complement each other.

You got one, you get the other
They are a package deal, you can't have just one without the other.

Overseas, on the front lines
One of them is serving their country and fighting on the front lines.

Bunch of whole different bloodlines
The other soldiers come from all different backgrounds and upbringings.

All fighting on the same side
Despite their differences, they are fighting for the same cause.

For the same flag and the same rights
They are all fighting to protect their country and the freedoms that come with it.

These guys wouldn't blink an eye
The soldiers are brave and selfless.

To lose theirs to save a life
They are willing to risk their own lives to save others.

So brother...
Even though they are far apart now, they are still always there for each other.

And when we strip away the colors
When they remove the things that make them different, like their backgrounds and upbringings...

Thank God we got each other
...they are left with the most important thing - their friendship.
