Garth Brooks - Thicker Than Blood Lyrics






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

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

    There's only one problem this is a wonderful and a very beautiful song but there's never a (ex Marine) once a Marine always a Marine

    Bobby Turnage he actually addressed this and he said in songwriting you have to go with what fits he acknowledged that yes no such thing as an x marine. He said he realizes he prob shouldn’t of said it but he said it fit with the song and they went with it. So he knows. He meant no disrespect

    Always loved this one! It's definitely one of Garth's most underrated songs, imo. Actually, so many songs from the early 00's seem very underrated now.
