Blood On Blood Lyrics
I can still remember
When I was just a kid
When friends were friends forever
And what you said was what you did
Well, it was me and Daddy and Bobby
We cut each other's hands
And held tight to a promise
Only brothers understand
But we were so young (so young)
One for all and all for one (for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run
Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all was said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood
Well, Bobby was our hero
Cause he hed a fake I.D.
I got busted stealing cigarettes
And he took the rap for me
Danny knew this white trash girl
We each threw in a ten
She took us to this cheap motel
And turned us into men
We were so young (so young)
One for all and all for one (for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run
Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood
Solo
Now Bobby, he's an uptown lawyer
Danny, he's a medicin man
And me, I'm just the singer
In a long haired rock'n'roll band
Through the years and miles between us
It's been a long and lonely ride
But if I got a call in the dead of the night
I'd be right by your side
Blood on blood, blood on blood
Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood
Blood on blood
This might be my favorite Bon Jovi song (that's really saying something.) The first time I heard the lines
Through the years and miles between us It's been a long and lonely ride But if I got a call in the dead of the night I'd be right by your side
I got shivers. They should do this more often in concert.
the first time i heard this song i cried. i love how the bond they have is so tight. even if they arent so close anymore they will still do anything for oneanother and that is something special.
It's all about my friends Bill and Andy. We are not as close as we might seem, but we are the closet.
This song rocks and this site rocks for letting me write about this sweet song.
This is plain and simple a song about three best friends growing up and remaining close. A bond so strong it can't be broken, no matter how far apart they are. Danny and Bobby are both real friends of Jon Bon Jovi also. However whenever asked about the song he and/or the Q&A staff at BonJovi.com say that the actual events may or may not have happened. Poetic license.
This is a great son about mateship. The line 'If I got that call in the middle of the night I'd be right by your side' is one of the most powerful ever written
a bon jovi song cant get much better than this one. it sums friendship up completely. I think i remember Jon saying this song is based on the movie 'stand by me'.
Through the years and miles between us It's been a long and lonely ride But if I got a call in the dead of the night I'd be right by your side
best lyrics of the song!
yeh ur right, it was inspired by stand by me. amazing film, amazing song.
Over a year and no new comments :-( I know it's not one of their most popular songs (which is too bad) but it is one of their best and I figured more people would have comments about it.
One of their best.
got this song tattooed on me :) though i preferred the older live version when richie sings a few lines
